Everyone else will want to watch because the game will feature LeBron James versus Giannis Antetokounmpo.
These are two of the best players of all time.
James ran the league for years but his time is coming to an end.
And Antetokounmpo is now taking the mantle and becoming the league’s leader in several ways.
As pointed out by ESPN, Antetokounmpo is currently leading the league in both paint points per game and fast break points per game too.
Over the previous 25 seasons, the only players to lead in both paint PPG and fast break PPG in the same season are Antetokounmpo and James.

A lot of people will bet their money on Antetokounmpo to pull out the victory against LA.
He’s younger, faster, healthier, and at the peak of his abilities this season.
James should not be counted out, though: the man is still performing very well despite being nearly 38 years old.
Even if James isn’t able to keep up with Antetokounmpo, watching these two square up is special because it features some of the best raw power that rules the league.
