The imperative

Freaks call this guy a freak, the honest and dedicated to different people.

Yanni's never get tired of greatness watching him.

You can't take your eyes off whoever wants it more.

I was gonna be able to go out there and take it.

One of the best players who will play the game, Yannis.

When I say that to you, what does that mean?

I never cared about money, you know, as long as I took care of my family and my family was okay, I didn't care about that.

But it's that, you know, and I work hard.

And, uh, you know, I was able Teoh be one of the most, uh, expressive players in NBA history.

But there's a lot of hard work that I gotta dio just that's in the past.

Right now I gotta focus in how can improve right now.

Well, speaking of the past, if you could go back in time and talk to that little boy who was selling trinkets with his brothers on the streets in Greece to help support his family that he would be earning a $228 million contract to just play basketball.

Uh, and I say, Listen, I get goose bumps, get chills.

You know, it's really has been a long, long journey.

And I just wanna thank my parents, my parents for, like helping us providing for us, you know, making our life Azizi a spa possible.

Well, you joked that one of the reasons why you decided to stay in Milwaukee is you ask your mom she wanted to leave and move, and you said, and she said no.

Um, but in addition, you know your brother Thanasis.

He's a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, your new parent with your girlfriend, Mariah.

So how much did family impact your decision to resign, Will, with Milwaukee obviously impact a decision?

I sat down, had conversation with, uh, to see, like to pick the brain.

But you know, what I got back from them is that whatever, like, whatever is best for me.

And And I told him, like what's best for me?

You've done everything that you became for us.

And then I realized that it's all about winning.

One day on, I knew that we build something special.

You know, obviously we didn't, you know, accomplish it last year and, uh, the year before, but I believe in the next five years I'm gonna be here we go accomplish it on.

This that I decision I wanna be I wanna be home is my city is the people that believe in me on, uh, I took, I took the pen on.

I decided I say I'm signing that signed the contract and I'm here now.

Well, ultimately, you know, why did you decide to sign this year instead of, you know, essentially getting the same contract offer and going through the courtship of free agency, which so many players say they want to experience?

Um, first of all, I'll be behind the percent.

Answer you like I didn't want depression.

I didn't want the pressure, you know, on my teammates, you know, my coach stuff going out there, losing the game and people talking about he's living all his staying.

Oh, they didn't play well, All he's out of there like that's that's adding more pressure to what?

So going through a year off pressure, it's almost like throwing it out of here.

While I'm going, I'm entering my prime, so I'm not throwing out a year on.

And obviously I know that everybody, uh, media Elvis off course and then be everybody wants that.

You know that story and that story line that drama.

But that's not me No e really want people to just leave me alone.

Don't even talk about me and you don't play basketball.

Well, you guys have the best record in the NBA the last two years in which you won back to back MVPs, but you've fallen short of the ultimate goal.

Recently, you made a reference that Michael Jordan lost in the playoffs as well.

And you said quote needing to get hurt to win was the reference you made.

And, uh, obviously Miami played great basketball.

I hate loose, you know, And I want to make all the time, but it's not possible.

There's never been a team that goes to 82 no, you gotta respect got expect basket you got.

That player's foot like seeing like, you know, Jimmy Butler.

You know, standing on the sideline can't breathe.

It's not gonna be easy, you know, and, uh, MJ Goto through that LeBron through that, like a lot of great players went through that.

You just gonna walk through the park and just win the champions.

If we win the championship this year and next year, the different thing want to win the championship?
