Giannis Antetokounmpo Acknowledges The Hardest Player in The NBA To Defend

A lot of NBA players would say Giannis Antetokounmpo is the hardest cover in the league. 

The Greek Freak obviously doesn't have to cover himself, and when asked about his toughest cover he had an interesting answer.

"I'll probably go with ..." Giannis said, and then thought for a few seconds.  "I'll probably go with James Harden."

Giannis and The Beard have an interesting history.  Harden made it clear that he thought he, not Antetokounmpo,  should have been MVP last year.  Since then, they have been jabbing at each other in the media.

So it's big of Giannis to admit this.
