Giannis Antetokounmpo has accomplished a lot in his 10 seasons in the NBA, but he doesn't think that makes him the face of the league.

He recently appeared on Milwaukee Bucks teammate Serge Ibaka's show "How Hungry Are You?", and Ibaka asked if the two-time MVP feels like the face of the NBA. Antetokounmpo said there's no single face of the league but there are several prominent representatives, including LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic.

"I feel like I'm one of the faces of the league," Antetokounmpo said. He added, "LeBron is. LeBron is still playing! Steph just won a championship, KD's still hooping. Embiid's killing. Jokic back-to-back MVP. Luka, magic. There's a lot of people out there."

Antetokounmpo has put himself in the early conversation for MVP again this season, averaging 31.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists through 10 games. The Bucks are also off to a hot start, sitting second in the Eastern Conference at 10-3.
