Giannis Antetokounmpo ruffled some feathers when he essentially criticized James Harden’s defense in the NBA All-Star Game, but he’s apparently doing whatever he can to clear the air.
The Greek Freak made headlines when he revealed his team’s strategy on offense in the All-Star Game, which apparently was centered around attacking Harden on defense.
The quote did get blown out of proportion a bit, but given that the two have had a history of on-court altercations over the years, it was assumed they had beef.
They don’t, apparently, as Giannis took time out of his COVID-19 quarantine time to actually compliment Harden — but on the offensive side of the ball. He recently held an Instagram live stream, and told viewers that Harden is the toughest player to guard in the NBA.
