2. Butler thinks James Harden and the Greek Freak are the most exciting players right now

How humble of Butler to not call himself the NBA’s most exciting player right now. Even though he didn’t shout out any of his teammates, Butler wasn’t wrong. As we watch James Harden hand in another MVP-caliber season, we also see just how amazing Giannis Antetokounmpo after tweaking and improving his game throughout the previous offseason.

Butler is a fan of the Greek Freak’s dunks, but don’t think that he intends on getting posterized by him. If in the future Antetokounmpo attempts to slam dunk on Butler, he should anticipate getting fouled. Some other guys on the Sixers might try to block it, but Butler wants to save the embarrassment that comes getting dunked on. Especially in this social media era.
