Giannis Antetokounmpo was in awe of Kevin Durant following the star's historic performance in the Brooklyn Nets' double-digit comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5.

"He's the best player in the world right now and we've got to beat him as a team," Antetokounmpo said after Durant's 49-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist masterpiece, according to The Associated Press' Brian Mahoney.

The 2020 Defensive Player of the Year said he's willing to try to contain Durant in Game 6.
