On occasion, Giannis Antetokounmpo enjoys making jokes with journalists. He’s even developed into something of a resident joker in recent years. At some of his news conferences, Antetokounmpo’s dad jokes have grown to be somewhat of an event.

Reporters questioned the two-time MVP following the All-Star Game on Doc Rivers’ acquisition of the Milwaukee Bucks and the future of the team. Rivers was brought on by the Bucks to take Adrian Griffin’s place. Had Griffin not been fired by Milwaukee, Rivers would have been the East All-Stars’ coach.

Giannis Antetokounmpo chose to play it cool rather than give a direct response to the question. He concluded by stating that he enjoys competing even when he is unaware of the Bucks’ opponent and doesn’t spend much time preparing before games. When Antetokounmpo answered the question, he made an effort not to smile.

Lou Williams addressed Antetokounmpo’s remarks on the “Run It Back” program.

“First of all, Antetokounmpo is lying. Take away all the praise and all we know about Giannis, and leave only one quote. And we want to hold Doc Rivers accountable for everything? .. As the commander of the army, you cannot go into battle and declare, “Well, I like to enter games unprepared.”Was he attempting to make a pointed statement? Yes, but it didn’t sound natural.

When they get a break, Williams said, the majority of NBA players don’t want to play basketball. On the other hand, they watch films specifically to research their rivals. Additionally, scouts from every team in the league analyze the plays of the opposition. This kind of workout would definitely need Antetokounmpo, which is why Williams claimed the superstar was lying.

Since Doc Rivers took over as coach, the Milwaukee Bucks had a 3-7 record. It’s still evident that Giannis Antetokounmpo and his colleagues are getting used to the way Rivers manages the offense and defense. They were defeated 113-110 by a Memphis Grizzlies club without any of their top six players before the All-Star break.

The Bucks have a lot of catching up to do, especially on defense, which was predicted to get better under Rivers. Milwaukee has undoubtedly participated in a number of film studies where they have had to learn information about both their opponents and themselves.

Among the NBA’s best prepared players is Giannis Antetokounmpo.

When Giannis Antetokounmpo claims he doesn’t watch movies or research opponents before games, he must be kidding. Although he might not be available for certain practices, he is definitely aware of the most recent scouting reports on the clubs they will be facing.

The way “The Greek Freak” gets ready for each game should give you an idea of how he attempts to be ready before the game. It is said that he spends over three hours warming up, fifteen minutes in an ice bath, and fifteen more minutes in a normatech suit. Fans can expect him to watch movies and attempt to dissect opponents if he is that focused and meticulous.
