Giannis Antetokounmpo: Pay attention, the MVP dialogue is nice. I’ve been within the MVP dialogue, what, just like the final seven years? Yeah, most likely the final seven years — high three, high 4, high three, high 4. It’s good. It’s an awesome praise. However on the finish of the day, successful is a special feeling. I used to be in a position to stay it as soon as (with the 2021 title). Then I don’t know if folks really feel prefer it counts or it doesn’t rely, or no matter it’s, however winning is winning, so is the NBA Cup. It was like, wow, this feeling, man, it’s like — it’s better than intimacy (laughs).

Giannis Antetokounmpo: It’s a conversation. It’s not unique. It’s a conversation with your coach. I have multiple conversations with Doc — on the plane, on the bus, after games, during games. Just conversations. We need to do this. We need to do that. It’s not something more than a conversation, you know? It’s not more. I don’t know if people want to make it more. It’s not more. It’s that — you’ve just gotta lead. And it’s the reality. Typically the coach has acquired to come back out and let you know, “Hey, you guys usually are not main proper now. You’re overthinking all the pieces. You guys do not make it simple for your self. You guys, you’re not blah, blah, blah.” -via New York Times / March 25, 2025
