Lol Giannis is so pure
Giannis talked about his meeting with Greek Hall of Famer Nick Galis (photo), the sentiment of winning the NBA title, and how he handles everything that comes from winning the title, including his reluctance to train with other NBA superstars who will be his opponents during the season:
“I can’t be fake. I am Giannis. But calling me MVP, calling me champ, calling me the best player in the world, is something that might hold me back. And I don’t want anything holding me back. I want to look forward and be better. That’s why I don’t train with other players. I don’t want to be buddy with them. If we do this and then drink a coffee with them, can I go in the court and use my elbow against them? Can I block or dunk on them? I can’t cause I am authentic. If I love someone, I love him also on the court. I am fully aware of that and I don’t want to put myself in this position.”
The MVP also spoke about the Finals and the fact that the Bucks did it as a unit despite him having a finals performance for the ages:
“I shouldn’t be playing in the Finals. I was hurt in Game 1. I was praying. We lost. In Game 2, I scored 40 and we lost. I was shitting on my pants, I was hurt. After that, we just wanted to defend our home. But then my teammates reacted, the team reacted, Jrue was all over the place. The key was how to manage my fear, my anxiety. I was talking with a sports psychiatrist every day, he helped me be myself. The free throws were a mental issue and I want to continue like this in the next season. And I want to see if we can repeat this as a team. I want to see if we can do it again, myself, my teammates, the owners, everyone”.
