Chad Johnson explains one thing about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game that worries him

NFL legend Chad Johnson has revealed Giannis Antetokounmpo’s constant need for the ball in his hands could lead to problems in the Miami Heat offence.

After their 110-115 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, Heat fans were not too pleased with the team and expressed their disappointment on X.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 14 points and fouled out after playing just 24 minutes against the Hornets. Bam Adebayo and Davion Mitchell combined for 42 points but those efforts went in vain as the Heat suffered their third straight defeat.

After the game, Chad Johnson, Joe Johnson and Shannon Sharpe were discussing the problems in the Miami Heat roster. Sharpe and Johnson, a former NBA player, seemed to agree that the Antetokounmpo and Adebayo pairing was not working for the Heat. Chad Johnson, on the other hand, seemed to have a concern about the Greek Freak’s game.

Antetokounmpo has had a decent start to the season, averaging 28.3 points and 8 rebounds, while shooting 57.1% from the field.

However, his brilliant performances have not translated into wins for the Heat. Having watched the star for three games, former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson gave his opinion on the Greek Freak’s game.

“The only part that worries me is that Giannis is so ball dominant, he’s going to always have the ball in his hands. So other players being able to find their shots, getting themselves in rhythm is going to be tough because he’s always on the ball and when he got the ball he’s looking to score, unless he just had no choice but to pass,” said Chad Johnson on the Nightcap Show.

The Heat have had problems on the defensive end as well, having conceded 115 points or more in all three games. While it is a matter of concern, the season has just begun and there are still 79 games for the Heat to turn things around.

The roster in Miami has completely changed from what it was last season. This is one of the reasons why they will need time to settle in and find their rhythm.
