Giannis Antetokounmpo: I always believed this is a phase into my career, and I always felt like that would be my last phase—as a guy that can playmake and can set up the team and be like a legit point forward out there. At times I show that I can do it. At times, when I have a great point guard next to me, I just let the guy do his job, and I do my job. But I believe—I’ve seen one of the greatest players, LeBron James, being the best at it. You see a lot of people playing that way right now—from Paolo, from Scottie Barnes. You see a lot of players that can handle the ball, put teammates in the right place, playmake, and make the team better. It’s something I enjoy doing. If I have the opportunity to come back next year and be able to do that, I would love it. I think I can be good. I can help the team in that way.” -via YouTube / April 30, 2025
