"I don't want to be Luka, KD or Shai": Giannis Antetokounmpo oozes prime confidence as he reveals desire to take his game to next level 

Over the past seven years, Giannis Antetokounmpo has cemented himself as an all-time talent. As the former 2x MVP puts together another dominant campaign, he confidently spoke about his game compared to some of his other superstar counterparts.

One thing that has allowed Giannis to be such an impactful force in the NBA is his rare mix of size and athleticism. Few players at his height can move around the floor as gracefully as he does, which is what makes him a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. Even though they know he wants to get to the rim, Giannis cannot be slowed down.

Earlier this week, Giannis Antetokounmpo crashed his brother Thanasis' "Thanalysis" podcast. While on the show, he talked about improving his game. While he gave credit to other stars around the league, Giannis' focus is on improving himself in his own way as he is a one-of-one type of player.

(13:33) "I don't want to be KD, Luka or Shai," Giannis said. "Obviously they have great things in their game, very, very talented in a lot of aspects in the game. But there has never been another person like me. So why would I try to change? I just got to evolve Giannis."

The Milwaukee Bucks got off to a bit of a rocky start this year but managed to turn things around in recent weeks. Giannis' play was a major catalyst in them getting back on track, putting up dominant averages of 32.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists.

Giannis Antetokounmpo feels his game is reaching a new level

Having just turned 30 on Dec. 6, Giannis Antetokounmpo is still at the peak of his powers in the NBA. Even though he's already been one of the game's top players for some time now, the Bucks forward feels his game is still reaching new heights.

While speaking with his brother on his podcast, they got to talking about how he's performed so far this season. It was there that Giannis confidently stated that in his eyes, he is reaching a new level as a player.

"I'm very very confident right now. I really believe in myself, I believe in my ability and I've put so much work into my game," Giannis said.

"I'm tapping into that next level right now, and I think there's one more level to me."

Seeing that he is already a dominant two-way force, Giannis Antetokounmpo continuing to improve is a nightmare scenario for the rest of the league. Based on how he's looked this season, the former MVP seems poised to get the Bucks back into a position of contention. In terms of areas he's growing in, Giannis cited his improved mid-range shooting.

Between Giannis oozing confidence and Milwaukee slowly starting to get healthy, things are lining up for them to rejoin the top tier of teams in the Eastern Conference.
