While some teams fight for the last positions of the NBA Playoffs , others have more than assured and the regular league may end up being longer, and boring, than it is. So much that you have to look for piques and pullas to hang out.

This is what James Harden must have thought when he hit Giannis Antetokounmpo for no reason, a player who does not usually get into the neighborhood of fights and has not had altercations with teammates during his career.

The Houston Rockets star referred to the qualities of the current NBA MVP : "I wish I could measure seven feet, run and crush the hoop. Just that. For that you don't need any talent . I have to learn how to play to basketball, how to have skills. Every day ... ".

Asked about his partner's words in the All-Star, Antetokounmpo recalled that he doesn't like "throwing words at anyone." " I prefer to focus on basketball and my family, " said the Greek, who was a father a few days ago and has the Milwaukee Bucks with a balance of 51 wins and eight losses, the best in the NBA.

" My game is not just physical and strength, I assure you ," Giannis explained after tonight's game against the Thunder. "But, obviously, there will be times when you will use that force against your opponent, as the best players have done. LeBron, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq ... They were all very physical in their game. But I try to improve my game, my medium distance shot, the triples, the pass ... It's hard to go fast in transition and then make the right pass. I keep adding things to my game and I hope to be a more complete player to help my team. " declared.

Antetokounmpo became the second player in history to average 25 points and 15 rebounds for a month without losing a single game. The only one so far had been Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
