Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ranked the 20th greatest player in NBA history by HoopsHype, which published its all-time top-20 list.
The Greek Freak is one of the most talked-about figures this summer following his transfer to the Miami Heat after leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team with which he won a championship.
The HoopsHype writer who compiled the list said it was difficult to rank higher at this level of the list, but added that Antetokounmpo is still in his prime, dominant on both ends of the floor, and will win much more in the years ahead.
