Milwaukee defeated San Antonio in a close 125-121 contest.

It was the first meeting between the two-time NBA MVPs Giannis and Wembanyama.

After the game, Antetkounmpo spoke to reporters and marveled at the rookie’s skills.

“He’s special,” he said, via ESPN. “He’s going to be an extremely good player. He plays the right way. He plays to win.”

“I’ve never seen anything like him,” he said.

And Giannis took it a step further, believing that Wembanyama’s height is taller than what’s reported.

“Whoever said he’s 7’3″ that’s a lie,” the 29-year-old said.

Wembanyama impressed during the game, recording 27 points, nine rebounds, and five blocks.

He had 19 points in the first half.

The 2023 No. 1 overall pick also had highlight-reel plays, including a behind-the-back for an and-one dunk, a self-alley-oop off the glass, and a block on Giannis.

But Antetkounmpo would take over in the second half.

He scored 29 points in the last two quarters and finished with 44 points.

The Greek Freak dunked on several Spurs players during one play.

Giannis also recorded 14 rebounds and seven assists.

The Bucks now have a 25-10 record and sit at No. 2 in the Eastern Conference.

San Antonio, however, has a 5-29 record which is the second-worst in the NBA.

“I was so confused and insecure. Because I thought I was beautiful. So many people told me I was beautiful. Who am I? I feel like a vase shattered across the ground, and left there in the alleyway. A chandelier that was cut from the ceiling, and then all the people left the house. I can’t imagine on this day, what it would feel like to recover. Am I allowed to be this sad? Am I allowed to lay on the ground in a heap and wail? I want to have hands again, and legs. I want to smile. I want to believe that I can. But again, I want to be sad for the rest of time. I want to wear my sadness in long strands. I want to lay on the ocean floor and weep stalactites. For a hundred years. A tree has fallen onto my chest. The sky is spinning, and it won’t slow down. I don’t want to feel any of this.” A excerpt of an untitled essay from NIGHTBIRDE The NIGHTBIRDE book “Poems for the dark” should be available for presale soon. We hope Jane’s words make you all feel less alone in your human experience. Photo by Jacqueline Day #nightbirde #poetry #essay #poem #nightbird #agt #itsOk #inspire #hope #faith #cancerJourney
