Giannis Antetokounmpo compares himself to a certain action movie star.

Milwaukee Bucks forward is back to lead the Bucks as he pursues his second career title.

The Bucks are seeded fifth in the Eastern Conference , their lowest playoff position since 2018 .

Bucks are expected to open the playoffs without Damian Lillard , who has been out for the last month with deep vein thrombosis.

In the six games he’s played this month , Antetokounmpo has averaged 31.8 points, 12 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

He is the only player ever to average 30 points while shooting at least 60% from the floor.

The Milwaukee Bucks star missed the playoffs last year because of injuries.
