Yannis Adetokounmpo is clearly one of the best two stars in this league. He and James Harden are both the most favorable opponents of this year's regular season MVP. The Bucks' superstar has grown from a thin 18-year-old boy to the most horrible devil in the league, almost unstoppable on the offensive end. What is even more shocking is that he seems to have a lot to improve.

In the past few summers, Janis has been trained alongside the best two stars in the league. They are Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and one of the greatest power forwards, Kevin Garnett. This not only improved the performance of the Greek monster on the sports field, but also benefited him from the sports field.

Recently, Janis accepted an interview with ESPN. Reporter Adrian Wynnalovski proposed a question: Many of the top competitors in the league maintain close relationships, why do you have no intimacy in the league? When is your friend? Janis explained that this situation was his own deliberate. He also mentioned his two mentor Kobe and Garnett. "I don't know very well that Kobe has been close to his opponent?! Kevin Garnett Obviously not, Michael Jordan is not like this. I believe this is only about competition. If I know that I will play against them in the playoffs, or that the opponent will be the enemy I will face in many years, I will They keep the distance. When I go to the court, I have to take out 100% of my energy. If I have a close relationship with the opponent, he may want me to use only 50% of the energy, or relax and be alert to him. I don't want to let Anything prevents you from moving forward."

Michael Jordan and other older players have always believed that top players should not be close friends. They said that this will make the NBA game softer and lack of bloody competition. Yannis’s view will definitely get their strong Identity. But from another perspective, there are still superstars like LeBron James in the league. Even when competing with the closest friends, they will maintain the best competitive state. He seems to know how to distinguish between the field and the field. Relationship. Everyone has their own interpretation of the game, and the Greek monster obviously prefers to use his opponent as an enemy to inspire himself.
