Giannis: A lot of people will talk about the MVP but my main focus is the big trophy

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have been preparing for the NBA restart, and the superstar’s mindset has been completely focused on getting the big trophy.

“I tried not to focus on the MVP talks — who’s the MVP and all that. My goal is to get better each day to help my team win games and everything is going to take care of itself. That’s what happened last year. I was locked in and winning games and helping my teammates, and it took care of itself. So, that was my main focus. Now, I know it’s going to be a lot of people out there talking about the MVP, but that’s not my main focus,” he told the media from Orlando. “My main focus is to get better, win games, help my team play good basketball and go and try to win the big trophy. The last time we did that was ’71, so that’s my main focus right now.” 

And he will use every advantage he can in order to make it happen. Giannis admitted that he misled everybody earlier in the pandemic by saying he didn’t have access to a hoop.

“Anybody out there that thought I didn’t have access to a gym, they don’t even know me. So, I just said that to try to get a little bit ahead of the competition.” 

Take a look at the full press conference as Giannis talked about the Orlando bubble, team chemistry, the social justice messages, his personal and the squads’ goals and more:
