Giannis Antetokounmpo THE ART OF WINNING

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a huge NBA star who is determined to do the little things right.

There are some things that Giannis Antetokounmpo would rather not talk about. For instance, the charismatic star with the Milwaukee Bucks isn’t particularly keen to discuss the individual honors he’s earned in nine NBA seasons. Which is surprising, since the cosmically versatile 7-foot-tall power forward has basically earned them all— he’s a two-time league MVP, NBA defensive player of the year, a seven-time all-star, the MVP of the NBA finals in a series in which he led Milwaukee to its first championship in 50 years).

“I will think about my legacy more later, when I’m closer to stepping away from the game,” Antetokounmpo says, a few minutes after the Bucks notched a home win against Toronto. When I have grandkids, I can have barbecue and talk about it all day. Right now, my long-term goal is to win another championship and otherwise I’m trying to remain in the present, to play with an edge and create more art.”
