It's my nature to be fearless.

I've got to perfect my game. Keep working.

You can just never forget where you came from.

Just growing up and going through life and how tough life was for me and my family, I'm always going to stay humble.

If I can't score, I do whatever I can to support my teammates.

I want to become one of the best players, so if you want to be one the best, you have to elevate all aspects of your game.

What's the reason I'm playing basketball? I do it because I love it, I do it because of my family, and that's it. I don't do it because of the money. I don't do it because of the fame. I just do it because I love it, and I do it for my family because my family enjoys it.

Before I leave this earth, I'm going to help people have a better future.

I've just got to keep working hard, try to get my team better. That's a goal of mine.

I'm going to do whatever it takes for me and my team to be successful.

A lot of people know who I am now. They want a little bit of me, a little bit of my time. But at the end of the day, I still have to remember who I am.

I like living in a smaller place, but I like being in big cities, too, like Athens.

Even if I'll be an All Star or Rookie of The Year, I will always be humble Giannis.

If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that's what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that's what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don't try to be authentic and real with themselves.

Because my parents were illegal, they couldn't trust anybody. They were always nervous. A neighbor could be like, 'These people are making too much noise, their children are making too much noise,' and the cops could knock at our door and ask for our papers, and that's it. It's that simple. So you're always a little closed.

I hope to play in the NBA for many seasons, establish my position, and win titles.

I was selling stuff probably since I could remember, like 6 or 7 years old. I was always out there helping my mom and dad sell watches, glasses, CDs, DVDs, stuff like that. Whatever we could put our hands on. I did it until I was around 17. But I was just doing it because I had to. There was no other option.

I can see the love from people in Milwaukee. I can see that the city wants me to be there for a long time.

You always fight with your brothers.

Milwaukee is a small-market team, but I love it.

My favorite movie is 'Coming to America' by Eddie Murphy.

Leading your family is a lot tougher than basketball.

I'm just trying to be the best basketball player I can be, you know, move the ball.

I see myself as a student. Trying to learn everything.

I like hip-hop and rock music.

I love how quiet and calm Milwaukee is.

I have worked hard to earn recognition in the NBA, and being on the cover of 'NBA 2K19' is a dream come true.

I'm gonna have some nights when it's not gonna come. But if you keep playing natural, it's just gonna come. I'm gonna keep getting better, keep getting better, and one day, everything's gonna pay off.

LeBron James is one of the best players in the league - and one of the best players to ever play the game.

I usually feel that I prefer to hide from people.

That's the style of basketball I love, playing on the open court.

The Bucks and John Hammond chose me in the draft, got me in the NBA, kept me in the team with a role from my very first season, and they are my basketball family.

I'm a really competitive guy. I'm a really stubborn guy. That's what makes me want to take Milwaukee to the top, make Milwaukee a big market team. That's a goal I've set for myself. Hopefully, one day I can achieve it.

It starts with my family. That drives me every day, just seeing them smiling.

The things that Dirk has done for this league and for the Dallas Mavericks, it's unbelievable. And Coach Kidd was a teammate of Dirk, so for Jason Kidd to compare me with Dirk Nowitzki, it feels nice. It's a nice compliment.

We loved our dad. My mom loved her husband. But at the end of the day, I think, he did what he was supposed to do in this world. He had five kids and raised us right. That's the most important thing.

I can be a little cocky.

Music is a huge part of my life when I am on the road, working out, or preparing for a game. It is something I always go back to, and it is something that motivates me. It gets me hype before a game.

Obviously, Kobe is one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

There's a lot of big guys who can play-make. We put labels like, 'Oh, he's a point guard, he's a center.' But sometimes your center can play-make for you and not just be the center, boxing out for rebounds and playing in the post.

You have so many games to play, and you can do well in one game but bad in the other ones. The thing you've got to be is consistent.

It's such a long season, and there's so many games, so many trips, you've got to build habits and be consistent with what you do.

The night before games, I try to get some shots up. Early on the game day, I come early in the morning to try to get some shots up. I just try to do the same things: go through the scouting, watch some clips before the game, just try to get my body ready.

Every coach has a different style and approach.

I'm a humble kid. I grew up with Filathlitikos. There were some people in Filathlitikos that taught to me how to stay humble. It was coach Tzivas that never allowed me to get carried away. That's who I am.

I'm serious about it, and I want to spend my money wise. I'm not going to throw away any money.

Dirk Nowitzki is the best European player, for me, that's ever played the game. He's an unbelievable talent.

Losing someone you love is tough.

To be one of the best to ever play the game? I think I have the ability to do that. But I've got to work hard. If I just keep talking and don't put some work in, it's not going to happen.

It doesn't matter how you're playing: you've got to be vocal - you've got to be aggressive - if you really want to be one of the best in this league.
