THE John Antetokounmpo gritted his teeth despite the annoyances and led the Bucks to victory over the Pacers. He himself, after a difficult summer, where he was unable to train after the surgery he had, does not want to miss matches without a very serious reason. And in his statements after the game, he also mentioned the National team.
“I just want to play. In this off-season I melted on the couch. I was eating a lot of doritos, chips, popcorn, watching a lot of Netflix, I couldn’t move and for the first time in my career I couldn’t compete with my national team and help them be better. Or worse, who knows“, he said jokingly and added: “Now that I’m available, I may not be at 100%, but I’m here. I was a little sore, but this year I want to be available. I started playing basketball this year at the beginning of September and I’m glad that I can play now».
As for the Bucks’ new victory, sixth in a row, he emphasized: “Ugly or beautiful, it doesn’t matter, winning counts. We went 6/6 at home, but now have back-to-back away games. We are good, but we have to improve. Some things need to be done automatically, in defense and attack. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. There are steps to be taken to believe it is ours, but we are not there yet. Personally I don’t care about the record, it has nothing to do with the goal, which is to tie when it matters most. The goal is to be there at the end, but we will have to keep working on it».
Christmas will find the Greek Freak in New York due to commitments with the Bucks. “My whole family will come there, it will be like a big party. I want to do some things, go to Broadway, I want to see the Michael Jackson show, Thanasis wants to see Harry Potter. If you have any tips on free tickets, because I saw that it’s $450 for 25 people… I don’t know if I can (laughs). They will all be there and we will be able to enjoy it“, he said.
As for what gift she wants? “I’m not a materialistic guy. All I want is health for myself and my people».
