The star of the Houston Rockets he referred to the qualities that the current has NBA MVP: “I wish I could measure seven feet, run and crush the hoop. Only that. For that you don't need any talent. I have to learn how to play basketball, how to have skills. Everyday…”.

“My game is not just physical and strength, I assure you“Giannis explained after tonight's game against the Thunder.” But, obviously, there will be times when you will use that force against your opponent, as the best players have done. LeBron, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq … They were all very physical in their game. But I try to improve my game, my medium distance shot, the triples, the pass … It is difficult to go fast in transition and then make the right pass. I keep adding things to my game and I hope to be a more complete player to help my team. “

Antetokounmpo became the second player in history to average 25 points and 15 rebounds for a month without losing a single game. The only one so far had been Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
