Shane Johnson joked that guarding Antetokounmpo is one of the hardest jobs in the world, right behind oil rig worker, Alaskan crab fisherman, and being in the military.
While that was clearly a joke, it felt fairly accurate when watching Monday’s night game.

Antetokounmpo and his Bucks will next face off against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
