Giannis Antetokounmpo picked the Utah Jazz as the top team in the NBA and not the defending champions Los Angeles Lakers.

Antetokounmpo reacted to the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss to the Jazz (115-129) and praised Utah for its performance.

“They are the best team in the West,” Antetokounmpo told reporters, via Eurohoops.net.

The Jazz (21-5) and the Lakers (21-6) are the top teams in the NBA at the moment.
