Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is one of the best basketball players in the world, but is there a way he can get even better?
Gilbert Arenas thinks so and he spoke about it on the latest episode of his show.
Arenas said that Antetokounmpo needs to work on his jump shot and the way he moves to the basket.
He said the way Antetokounmpo moves his body allows opponents to read him easily and predict what he is going to do.
If he can be unpredictable, he can be much more impactful.

Arenas gave a fairly accurate description of how Antetokounmpo plays.
When he is going to attempt a jump shot, he slows down and prepares himself, focusing and getting ready to put up the bucket.
And when he is going to make his way to the basket, he goes at full speed.
Both of these moves make sense but they are easy to recognize, which allows the defense to prepare for his next steps.
If Antetokounmpo wants to be more productive on the court, he needs to shake things up and throw opponents off their games.
Of course, this is all much easier said than done.
Antetokounmpo has been playing for years now and has made a habit of slowing down when he’s about to shoot and moving with speed when he’s trying for a layup.
But changes are possible, it’ll just require some work.
Arenas is giving good advice here because it’ll make Antetokounmpo more versatile and, therefore, more dangerous to his opponents.
