Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA's most inscrutable superstars as a probable two-time MVP, but that could be by design on his part.
"Sort of Giannis being this private superstar: someone close to him told me... I'm like 'Yeah, Giannis, it's his nature to be private. He's a little more Duncan-y in his approach to superstardom," said Kevin Arnovitz on The Lowe Post podcast.
"And they're like 'Yeah, that's not really it.'
"And I said 'What is it?'
"They're like 'He finds it unseemly to preen as the face of the league before you win a championship. Like it would be unconscionable for him to do that because it just is so not in his nature the idea that anybody would preen before they won a title.'
"That's the one thing the Bucks have going for them. He's insanely hard on himself. And it might not be in his nature to blame an organization for falling short of potential. But who the hell knows, Zach?"

Don’t worry Giannis, the NBA wants Zion to be the man.

You can do all of this in Toronto with plenty of Greek and Nigerian people to boot. And you work for Masai, who is guaranteed to build a winner.

Giannis to form a super team in July 2021 after he realizes that he needs 2 more superstars in order to chase rings in today's NBA.
