Kyle Korver and his lethal three-point aim joined the Milwaukee Bucks this summer. However long shots efforts will extend beyond the games into daily practices and sharing his secrets with Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning MVP told reporters after the first day of training camp ahead of the 2019-20 season, ESPN relays.

“He’s not trying to get in your head or overstep and talk too much to you. Whenever he gives me tips, I always try to listen. He is one of the best shooters to ever play the game” noted the Greek Freak on his new teammate’s contribution, “He’s definitely going to help this team, but he’s definitely going to help a lot of players develop their shooting ability.”

Antetokounmpo had 30.2% on jump shots last season and 25.6% on three-point efforts. Overall in his NBA career he’s made just 27.7% of his shots beyond the arc. On his part, Korver is a proven shooter carrying a 42.9% overall regular season career mark into the Bucks.

“That was exciting to me,” Korver admitted referring to his additional commitment, “I can see a role where I can help a team.”
