Giannis Antetokounbo: “I wear the jersey and become a figure, a myth, a Greek Freak”

He gave another awesome interview full of lines in the U.S. and compared himself to Neo in the film Matrix, talking about a bubble in which he lives in . Speaking in “The Athletic”, Giannis Antetokounbo explained that basketball is a different person than in his everyday life and when he leaves the park, he tries to leave his… figure “Greek Freak” behind him. Antetokounbo’s statements “I will never make myself look like crying for a trophy. It’s something I’ll never do, I’ll never fall into the bubble, because I really think this is a bubble. This is a matrix. Have you seen this movie with Neo? It’s reality and he’s on a boat and then he takes the cubes off him and escapes all this. That’s what we’re in, you know? I come here, wear my shirt and suddenly I’m an amazing figure, a myth, a Greek Freak. But when I get it out, I go back home, change diapers, you know what I say? I refuse, I refuse to fall into the… bubble, created by those who tell me that “you have taken the most votes in the All Star Game” or “Stupid 60% in the inside children” or “shut 40% in the three-point after All Star Game”. Gentlemen, when you have to leave your children at school and talk to other parents or teachers, no one thinks or talks to you about shooting 62% on the inside. Nobody gives a shit. Nobody – but nobody – cares about it”.
