Just one NBA title apparently won’t do it for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. While speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Antetokounmpo said that winning the championship with the Bucks last season wasn’t enough to make him satisfied, and is already has his focus on the 2021-22 NBA campaign.
“Are we satisfied? I’m not satisfied. I’m not even close to being satisfied,” Antetokounmpo said when asked about winning his first NBA ring.
According to Antetokounmpo, he is also looking to make other Milwaukee players adopt the same mindset.
“That’s the tone we got to set as a team,” he added. “As the leader of this team, that’s the tone I’m going to set. We understand that teams are coming for us, but we’re going to be ready.”
Antetokounmpo finished the regular 2020-21 season averaging 28.1 points, 11.1 rebounds, and a career-high 5.9 assists. He followed that up with an even more remarkable playoffs performance that saw him putting up 30.2 points and 12.8 boards en route to an NBA title and NBA Finals MVP.
But despite all his previous success, Antetokounmpo believes he has a lot more coming for him if he manages to elevate his game to another level.
“Right now, what I want is to get better,” he explained. “I don’t care about trophies. I don’t care about the MVPs. I don’t care about Defensive Player of the Years. All those things, I don’t care. I care about getting better because if I do that more things are coming.”
