Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zion Williamson are set to face off in a battle of beasts

Who will take the crown of the most dominant player in the NBA?

Tonight's game between the Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans is a must-watch. But despite all the exciting players on both sides, all eyes will be on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zion Williamson.

Battle of beasts

Many fans would agree that Giannis and Zion are the two most physically imposing players in the entire NBA. 

On one side, the Greek Freak stands at 6'11'' and 240 lbs of athleticism, speed, and strength, which makes him virtually unstoppable. On the other side, Williamson stands at 6'6'' and 280 lbs of power, looking like a freight train. Williamson is far from overweight now, looking springy and as healthy as ever. Although Giannis has a pretty sizeable height advantage, Zion holds 40 pounds on the Bucks superstar which will play a huge part in their matchup. 

Antetokounmpo won't be just able to overpower Williamson, and he will have to use his size advantage to maybe shoot over the Pelicans star and get him outside the paint where the Greek Freak can possibly blow by him.

Previous matchups

The two power forwards only played each other 3 times in their careers, but they were all games to remember. Giannis has gotten the better of Zion so far, as he holds a 2-1 record in those duels—Antetokounmpo has averaged 36.7 ppg, 12.7 rpg, and 5.0 apg when playing against the Pelicans star.

Zion also takes his game to the next level when playing the best, averaging 25.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg, and 6.0 apg in those games. Tonight the Pelicans star will be looking to improve on those averages and make it 2-2 when battling the Bucks superstar.

But knowing Giannis and his competitive fire, he will bring it tonight, especially considering he is playing against the youngster everybody dubs to be the next version of him. In the end, it's all about respect between these two forces.
