The two great goals of Giannis Antetokounmpo this season: "That could make me cry"

The Greek superstar of the Milwaukee Bucks wants to be completely healthy when the playoffs arrive and have the opportunity to win his third MVP.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Milwaukee Bucks started off the 2024/25 NBA season terribly. Although they are not yet ready to compete with the best teams in the league, they have stepped up their game and improved significantly, climbing to the fifth position in the Eastern Conference. Predictably, they have been led by an absolutely phenomenal Giannis Antetokounmpo, averaging 32.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.3 blocks, and shooting 61.6% from the field.

“Yes, that definitely could make me cry,” Antetokounmpo said to Yahoo Sports about the possibility of winning another MVP. “I want to be part of that conversation. It lets me know that I could help my team, carry my team, solidify us as a team. I won't lie, it definitely means something to me.”

“At this point in my career, I had the conversation with my brother, I told him, ‘Man, it's crazy to me.’ I came to the realization that maybe I'll never win another MVP,” confessed Anteto. “I'm having better years than the years I won it. But hey, the league is getting better, the guys are playing very, very well.”

“I feel that, in terms of basketball, I can read plays better now,” analyzed the Greek star. “I know my spaces much better at certain times. I'm not as rushed. I'm more composed. I don't know if I'm playing better, but we'll see at the end of the year.”

“I'm literally changing my game, and that gives me a great dopamine rush in my head, because I've wanted to do this for a long time,” Giannis told reporters. “Now, there will be games where I won't do anything. In the last game, I did absolutely nothing. But in this game, I achieved it. Hopefully in the next game, I can do something more.”

Antetokounmpo's Grand Goals

“I won't lie,” said the Bucks' superstar. “There are two things. I want to play in the playoffs. … You know, I haven't had that feeling. That feeling was taken from me last year. And two, if I had the chance to win the MVP, it would definitely make me cry. I'm not saying this for clickbait.”

“I'm dominating here,” closed Giannis Antetokounmpo. “I can't remember the last time I dunked on someone. So I'm trying to choose my spots and then dominate the game mentally. And if I can [win it again], it would definitely make me cry. My kids will also be able to see me win.”
