Throughout his NBA career, Giannis Antetokounmpo has had his fair share of criticism, despite his success in recent years.

On the "No Chill with Gilbert Arenas" podcast, Arenas criticized the Greek player. His remarks, however, weren't well received by the public. In the episode, Arenas said Giannis doesn't understand the game of basketball.

"He's not even close. He doesn't understand basketball yet. He won a championship, cool. He doesn't understand how to be great," Arenas said.

In true Giannis fashion, however, he responded to Arenas' comments with class.

Does it bother Giannis when he takes criticism from former players like Gilbert Arenas?

"No, does it bother me? I'm not gonna lie, it makes me wanna work harder," Antetokounmpo said. "Do I go back home and think about it and I can't sleep? Not necessarily."

The Milwaukee Bucks will make their season debut on October 20th against the Philadelphia 76ers.
