Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Reason His Example Puts Embiid in a Bad Light

They are two of the biggest stars in the NBA in recent times and strong candidates to become some of the best in history, but it is in difficult times where the character of each one is revealed. Giannis Antetokounmpo is proving to be a better teammate and team leader than Joel Embiid.

There are many ways to react to crisis situations and that largely defines a person and an athlete. There are those who take on responsibilities, thrive in adversity, and try to give confidence to their teammates. On the other hand, there are other leaders who show off their arrogance by blaming their teammates for the team's failures and fail to step out of their comfort zone to provide an extra inspiration to others. Giannis Antetokounmpo is once again showing his greatness in this regard, in contrast to Joel Embiid.

The Greek player has reacted with pride and character to the bad start of his Milwaukee Bucks. He set an example with his work ethic and humility, did not air dirty laundry from the locker room to the press, and doubled down on his efforts on the court to instill confidence in his teammates. The team has quickly responded, with a substantial improvement in recent games. On the other hand, the Cameroonian center is embroiled in arguments with journalists and teammates, arrives late to training sessions and talks, displays arrogance on the court, and relinquishes the competitive spirit needed from him.

It is evident that Giannis Antetokounmpo is showing the way of how to be an exemplary leader, something that Joel Embiid has always been far from, and now more than ever. It will be interesting to see how this season unfolds for the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers and how that can influence their status as NBA stars.
