While Bidunga has been compared to Stoudemire, his favorite NBA player is Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. “Basically, my favorite player is Giannis Antetokounmpo,” he told Basketball Recruiting last September. “I try to play like him, work like him and do stuff like him.”
When did the Congo native first start playing basketball? “I’ve played basketball for three years now. That’s when I was 14, I started in my country,” he said. “I was getting tall. and some tall dudes saw me and said, ‘You should play basketball.’ And I said, ‘OK, let’s try.’ I started playing basketball, and I like basketball. I used to play soccer for nine or 10 years.”
