Kevin Garnett controversially ranked Giannis Antetokounmpo as only the fourth-best player in the Eastern Conference, behind Joel Embiid and Jayson Tatum, during discussions with Paul Pierce on their podcast. Despite Antetokounmpo's impressive stats, including averaging 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists last season, Garnett argues that Embiid and Tatum's recent performances elevate them above Giannis. Pierce disagreed, maintaining that Giannis is still the best in the East. The Bucks, led by Antetokounmpo, had a challenging season plagued by injuries and coaching changes but are expected to improve with better team chemistry. Garnett's opinions have sparked debate, especially considering Giannis' accolades and past performances.
