Australian basketballer Josh Giddey has won many plaudits of late. During the recent NBA All-Star weekend, LeBron James became the latest to heap praise on the 19-year-old Oklahoma City Thunder rookie. “He has a great pace about the game, great vision,” said the basketball legend. “He’s playing beautiful basketball.”
Giddey has won rookie of the month in the Western Conference for three consecutive months, and made history as the youngest-ever NBA player to record a triple-double. Most recently, just last week, the Victorian became the first NBA rookie to register three straight triple-doubles since basketball Hall-of-Famer Oscar Robertson 60 years ago.
