I don't believe for a moment the guy doesn't care about winning. He wants to be an all time great. He's just not an ass of a human. It's a weird combination, i know...
I reckon Giannis still thinks in Greek and speaks in English.
My interpretation is that when he says "I don't care about winning" it's more like "I'm not worrying about it" in the sense he is not thinking about it (because really it's a dead-end thought, it doesn't add any value, just results in anxiety).
Instead he's thinking and visualising the specific things he has to do today. And if he does them, winning will either take care of itself or it wont, either way he will have done everything he can possibly do to win.
If you watch his facial expressions they are more in line with my interpretation rather than an arrogant "I don't care".
He's explaining his way of trying to control his emotions and stop his brain from racing and stressing himself out.
