“I’m never going to make myself look like I’m crying for a trophy. It’s something I’m never going to do, I’m never going to fall into the bubble, because I really believe this is a bubble. This is a matrix”said Giannis, continuing the analogy with the famous film: “Have you seen that movie, with Neo? They’re actually, they’re on a boat and then they’re wearing this…”referring to the scene where Neo he wakes up from the simulation and sees what is happening in real life.

But when I take her out, go back home, change diapers, you know what I’m saying? I refuse, I refuse to fall into the… bubble created by people who tell me “you got the most votes in the All Star Game” or “You shoot 60% from the field” or “you shoot 40% on threes after the All Star Game “. Gentlemen, when you have to drop your kids off at school and you’re talking to other parents or the teachers, no one is thinking or talking to you about shooting 62% into the kids. No one gives a damn. No one – but no one – gives a damn”continued the Greek star.
