Antetokounmpo scored most of his points near the rim, because why wouldn't someone 6-11 with a nose for the goal score from there, but there were KeiVarae Russell Jersey also two3-pointers, which gave him 79for the season. They were reminders, whether intentionalor not, to Harden and everyone else that he's more than just a dunker and that he does have some skill.

Before all that, Antetokounmpo triedto lower the heat onwhatever is simmering between the two superstars. He looked to downplay his wisecrack at the All-Star Draft about wanting to play with someone who would pa s the ball. He maintainedhe's not in a "back-and-forth" with Harden.

"I'm not that type of guy," he told ESPN. "I've never tried to take stabs Michael Thomas Hoodies Sweatshirts at somebody. Maybe sometimes (it) might come out like that, but ...I'm just trying to do my job, which is win games and go back home to my family and my kid. At the end of the day, if that Daniel Sorensen Jersey 's what he believes, that's what he believes."

His postgame comments were more interesting.

Antetokounmpo insisted his game is "not just power" and listed ways he's attempting to hone his skills.

"I try to work on my game midrange shots, 3s, being able to screen-and-roll faster, make the right pa s. It's hard to drive full speed and try to make the right NFL New Orleans Saints Jersey pa s to the corner. Trying to get my pa sing more accurate and there's a lot of things I'm still adding," he told reporters, .

"Hopefully, when I add all those things to my game, I'm a more complete player and I can help my team win games easier."

Milwaukee has had no trouble winning this season; it's 51-8 and has already qualified for the playoffs. Expect Giannis and Co. to be intent on grabbing another W when they play the Rockets for the final time in the regular season on March 25.

If a more complete version of Antetokounmpo shows up for that Terron Armstead Jersey game, then expect him to make amore comprehensive statement.
