After Koba, Olajuvon and Garnett, Giannis Antetokoumpo wants to work with Carmelo Anthony

In the river interview with Sport24, Giannis Antetokounpo comes back to this Bronze medal obtained by Greek In Eurobasket and he talks about his family, the role of his parents or this period when he lost this passion to basketball … “From 2022. I found the joy of playing, especially with the national team. Every summer spent with Greece makes me fall in love with the basketball” Explains, before talking about the arrival of the NBA season and its status.

“Best Five Players, I think Luke, Jokic, Sga, Tatum and I. And it depends on the season” Sneaks. “If I get back this year, I’m going to help my team at the Eastern Conference, I’m going to the world’s best player. But the world’s best player is the best player, he is the best player in the world …”

Weakness for “two-way player”

Personally, it appreciates “Your Player”, and we remember being very close that the double MVP-defense counsel was done in a year. “My preference goes to versatile players. I really love Anthoni Edwards … I like Anthony Davis … I like Kavhi Leonard I really appreciate that” He lists. “I like guys who know that they defend yourself and who attacks the attack. We know that they will always be 100%. They will always do everything, but they always give themselves 100%.”

Like Lebron James or A Kobe Briantor even Victor Vembaniama Today, Giannis quickly worked with legends and he remembers his first meeting with Kobe.

“I went to the room in which his daughter was working around noon, but I had nowhere in Orange, where I lived nearby, around 9. years, and I was fired, I was fired on the field early and waited. He remembers, before the Kobe’s arrival came out. “He opened the door and headed for me and it was as if it was moved in slow motion. You would be shocked. These were 3, 5, 10 seconds in slow motion, and you would say unto yourself,” But you would say: “But what happens? “I wasn’t Giannis Antetokounpo then I wasn’t a player. Kobe.

Common points with Hakeem Olayum

That day, Kobe really explains him that the NBA is the defense of the same evening. “He explained to me how to study the defense. He told me that it was very difficult to adapt to the NBA. “See the last three matches and if defending yourself as in front of superstar, also prepare for them.” » I told him: “What if it’s changed?” »» He replied: “They don’t change. I succeeded everything and destroyed them all. The defense doesn’t change.” » And I’m starting to see him.“

Other “teachers” at his disposal, Kevin Garnett and Hakeem Olajuvon. “When we talk to Kevin Garnett, we have the impression of being able to raise the mountains. I don’t know how he was when he was when I told them, they were intense because they were intense because they were intense underline “Greek freaks”. “Hakeem has been retired for twenty years and he was a little and he has been a teacher. He was great and easy time and play houston, he always comes to see me. And then the same course. And not only The Same Course. The Same Number. All. ” Amazing! “

And today, with which he would like to do? “I don’t like working with active players. I could work with Lebron James, but he still plays it in a month or it will be my opponent. I think the next will be Carmelo Anthony. If I could work with him.”
