Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Having The Exact Same Career LeBron James Had Exactly 10 Years Later

 

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are in troubled waters and are in desperate need of a win in today’s game 4 against the Miami Heat, to avoid an early playoff elimination.

An exit at this stage of the postseason could lead to Antetokounmpo wanting to leave Milwaukee and join a team like the Heat, Raptors, Warriors or Mavericks.

If this was the case, it would yet be another similarity to LeBron James’ career, exactly 10 years later. While things like these always seem kind of forced and aren’t seriously comparable, the parallelism between the two stars’ careers are flabbergasting.

Redditor CH0S3N-0NE took a closer look at these similarities and found out that Giannis is basically having the same career LeBron James had, exactly a decade later.

 

Giannis is doing/has done a lot of what LeBron did exactly 10 years prior… pretty interesting

LeBron Born December 1984, Giannis Born December 1994

LeBron drafted June 2003, Giannis Drafted June 2013

LeBron’s first MVP season & year as #1 seed 2009, Giannis did this 2019

Lebron losing in conference finals his first mvp season while being #1 seed 2009, Giannis 2019 (both lost 4-2)

LeBron 2nd MVP season & year as #1 seed 2010, Giannis 2nd MVP season & year as #1 seed 2020

LeBron losing in ECSF his 2nd MVP season as #1 seed 2010, and it looks like Giannis will do this in 2020.

If history keeps mirroring itself like it has with LeBron and Giannis… could we see Giannis leave this year to join a super team ( possibly the Miami Heat ??) ?
