Giannis Antetokounmpo says 'Hell, no' to Instagram live question about Mo Bamba being better image

The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo has climbed the ranks to become one of the NBA's best players and a perennial MVP candidate. The Greek Freak's ability and star power generally go unquestioned, but that changed Saturday.

Antetokounmpo was taking questions on an Instagram live video when one follower asked whether rookie center Mo Bamba — selected fifth overall by the Magic in Thursday's NBA Draft — was better than him.

Antetokounmpo replied with a confident and humorous "Hell, no."

Antetokounmpo later clarified on Twitter that the reply was in good fun and added that Bamba is a "good kid" and a "good player" who will be a good fit with the Magic.

Those who follow the Bucks guard/forward on social media are no strangers to his comical Instagram live videos and his recent adventures into American cuisine, which he has recapped on Twitter.

This was another example of what makes Antetokounmpo one of the most likable players in the NBA and a must-follow on social media.
