Giannis Antetokounmpo

Every coach has a different style and approach.

I'm serious about it, and I want to spend my money wise. I'm not going to throw away any money.

I am a boring guy, I think.

I'm a guy who doesn't really care about glamour and big markets; I like to be home all day.

Milwaukee is really quiet. The people here are really respectful. They can see me in the street, walking on the road. I can go to anyplace in Milwaukee without people being all over me. I appreciate that.

I'm really scared of failing.

I think for a guy like me, low-profile guy, it's better being in Milwaukee.

The things that Dirk has done for this league and for the Dallas Mavericks, it's unbelievable. And Coach Kidd was a teammate of Dirk, so for Jason Kidd to compare me with Dirk Nowitzki, it feels nice. It's a nice compliment.

Even if I'll be an All Star or Rookie of The Year, I will always be humble Giannis.

There's a lot of big guys who can play-make. We put labels like, 'Oh, he's a point guard, he's a center.' But sometimes your center can play-make for you and not just be the center, boxing out for rebounds and playing in the post.

What's the reason I'm playing basketball? I do it because I love it, I do it because of my family, and that's it. I don't do it because of the money. I don't do it because of the fame. I just do it because I love it, and I do it for my family because my family enjoys it.

I can see the love from people in Milwaukee. I can see that the city wants me to be there for a long time.
