Giannis Antetokounmpo and his new team, the Miami Heat, are set to take on the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day. The Greek Freak is feeling good about it too, making a bold proclamation.
In what is arguably the biggest move of the NBA offseason, the Miami Heat traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo. For the first time ever, he will suit up for a team which is not the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Giannis move has been coming for a long time, and it’s interesting to see that he’s moved within the Eastern Conference. That means a lot of the rivalries will continue to grow.
During his time with the Bucks, Giannis had many battles with the Boston Celtics. And as per the newly released Christmas Day schedule, he’ll face them on the NBA regular season’s biggest night.

After a few seasons spent in mediocrity with the Bucks, Antetokounmpo will be raring to go with the Heat. He has repeatedly stated his desire to win, and this fire should worry fans of other Eastern Conference teams.
