- Giannis Antetokounmpo responds to a question on his NBA Finals Game 4 block on Deandre Ayton with a gem of a life lesson:
When you focus on the past, that's your ego.
When I focus on the future, it's my pride.
I try to focus in the moment, in the present, and that's humility. That's being humble.

When a guy like Giannis speaks, we should listen. This man has learned so much from life, he carries a lot of wisdom with him.
He is a Greek Philosopher Bro
yes thats why he is hated by these analysts on certain sports shows. I love his mindset.
@@consciousmeka3740 hey dont don that skiuppp
Well said very well said!!!
@@sahilnigam4536 lmao 🤣 Skip voice (I never seen anything like it )
Past is Ego
Future is Pride
Present is Humility
Interesting take, and makes some sense
@@gosur6860 wtf do you mean limited English LOL. He is extremely fluent 0_o. You try coming up with something as great as that on the spot Mr.Native. SMH
I understood the point he was making clearly and it would appear the other commenters did as well. Which part brought you to the conclusion he was having a hard time getting his point across? Just curious 🤔
Idk why this made me cry.
@@aaroneusjames2342 glad I’m not the only one 😅
Makes a ton of sense
Look at Giannis man, so inspirational!!!
look at akumpo man....
Absolutely
I agree
No athlete speaks like Giannis. A 2*time MVP and more... still keeping his head down. World -class of an athlete that is very very very rare in all of sports.
Mean while Ja morant has won nothing yet and they compare him to giannis.smh
Ray Lewis was very similar he was just way more energized
Really doesn’t surprise me Giannis said something so wise, he is Greek after all.
Dis man is just a legend
He is such a legend GO BUCKS!!!
Now it's YO BUCKS.
Didn't expect such great life lesson from Giannis.. no body explained ego better than he did🙏 I will always remember this lesson for my life. Guys like him are motivators and hope givers. That's a great coach talking right there
- Who taught you that?
- Life
If you’ve followed Giannis for much of his career I am not surprised by this kind of statement from him.
Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greeks used to say: "Whoever is not Greek is a barbarian" No. They were not racists. They meant barbaric either the one who knew nothing of Greek education or the one who did not want to follow the values, principles, or virtues that the philosophers taught then. So a Greek could very well be a barbarian and a foreigner could be a Greek. Giannis is an African who was born and raised in Greece and went to a Greek school. What he learned there but mainly what life itself taught him makes him more Greek than all of us Greeks. after that I do not care how many points he will put and how many more incredible things he will do in the NBA. He is already the champion of our heart and he makes us all proud. Nevertheless, eleven million Greeks shout: "let s go bucks"
Lol I hate how u Greek dudes show love to Giannis yet ur country so dman racist.
@@NostalgicMems lmaoooo
@@NostalgicMems It is true but that's not the case for all Greeks and that's something that people discuss about on the greek social media. A lot of Greeks blame each other stating that if Giannis was not the famous nba player that made his dream come true, he would still be seen as one inferior immigrant and treated like a lower class citizen. But that's a thing that Giannis achieved, he made people realize that we shouldn't be treating foreigners differently compared to one another because of their class or economic status, he proved wrong a lot of narrow minded idiots and showed a lot of young kids that dedication combined with discipline is the key process towards achieving your goals no matter what they are.
@@tornadoakias You speak much wisdom brother. I am black Italian and can relate to that.
That is so true! Maniatis.
To be honnest few years ago I didn’t liked him and tought he was overrated but now I see he is a beast and so humble at the same time he deserves to get his ring
Turns out that Chris paul is the arrogant bum even try to hurt giannis on that play trying to push him off the rim what a sore loser
@@RacingKitty64 fax and that wasn’t called a tech 😂
🙏
It don’t matter because these teams won’t be back next year
@@thesecond8187 Not sure about that, Especially the Bucks might be back.
you simply just cannot hate this man
Why? His “humble” act is a facade
Bucks in 6 what a legend
now it's closer than ever
Yessirr
He is the "oldest" 26 years old I have ever seen.... coming from absolute poverty and difficult conditions does that to you!!!
When I think of how I thought at 26 and listen to that wow he is so ahead in the game of life
Respect
How can you not love this guy?
Jealousy, and that’s it.
I'm sure Suns fans hate him 🤣
That is a good guy.
English with greek accent 😂 ,forever greek
Now the champ. In the present. That's humility.
Gianni we need more people like you in Greece. Too much ego and pride and selfishness in this country bro, too much reference to history and what Greece has been in the past (which is surely great, won't debate that) but not interested in how to work hard and make this country great again. Wish you the best, υγεία αδερφέ και όλα τα άλλα θα έρθουν.
I haven’t been a bucks fan till 2017 because when my grandpa told me who giannis is I watch his highlights and he is super good and thats why I’m a bucks fan and I got good in basketball thank you giannis
ALSO BUCKS FOR LIFE
same for me bro...I admire Giannis so much
Hollow purple
A true mamba disciple!
Greek philosopher... 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I know nothing about basketball 🏀 but the guy made me learn the history of basketball and I love basketball
This guy never go to college, never focused on high school academics, but still has more knowledge and maturity than most of the people in the world
In a certain way, is exactly the reason for him to be the way he is.
He and the other international players, they didn't grow up in environment that promote the lifestyle of a basketball player.
He, alongside Nikola Jokic, are the ones that really understood how special opportunity they received and didn't waste it. Some American stars feels a bit spoiled, compared to Giannis.
Philosopher. Legit Greek.
Giannis deserved this ring. I hope he gets many many more.
I don't know about you guys but he reminds me a lot like Kobe, especially with how he expresses his thoughts. A real inspiration and definitely an all-time great!
His focus and dedication to improving himself are really just like Kobe.
Makes sense why Kobe not only practiced with him, but also saw him as an MVP before anyone else. Then challenged him to win the Championship.
Giannis you are not only good in basketball but as well as in your philosophy. A real Greek. God bless you
Greetings to Attaleia! ✋
Look at akumpo man, so inspirational.
Wow, wise beyond his years. A glimpse into his mindset.
Thank you Giannis, you are an inspiration for our children for your charismatic athletic skills, persistence, hard work, and also for your philosophy.God bless you.
jezus! i guarantee you, if giannis wins a championship, whether this year or in the future, this interview is going to be immortalized forever.
Πάμε ρε Γιανναρε !! Μπουλντόζα - τρένο - κτήνος. Μας έκανες bucks από το πουθενά 😉
I agree 100%.

@@herozero7484the nba is totally rigged

Fav player by far, he's making the nba fun to watch again
Geez! Apart from being a rare talent, an accomplished athlete and a great team-player, he also has brains, emotional intelligence and to top it off, never stops working to improve himself! Who does that nowadays? And he's just 26! So proud of him!
Probably the best take I've heard from a press conference ever. He's an impressive guy
👈🏿Ego Pride👉🏿
👇🏿
Humility
Philosophy talk right there, love it
Had to save this to my life advice playlist. What a great perspective to have!
Looking at this now and it makes sense why he’s the finals MVP. Is not his game but his wisdom
Look at giannis man so inspirational
Such a sense of who you are and where you stand for, coming from a 26-year old professional athlete is truly inspiring for us all. Giannis deserves all the credit he gets, we have never seen a star like him before. But hopefully we will see plenty of him and athletes inspired and motivated by his words in the future.
So much easier to root for athletes like him that seem to do things the right way and actually appreciate where they are and they opportunity they have.
Can't say the same about a lot of other players in this league. Everyone got too cocky.....I like that the Bucks just humbled the league. I'm saying this as a Pistons fan...Our 2004 Pistons were one of the last teams I saw actually outwork teams and care about Defense.
Giannis is one of the one players and this team, one of the only teams that carries that torch forward.
I've always liked Giannis but hearing him speak in this finals really made me pull for him and the Bucks. He has such a great attitude an a humbleness that is so inspiring.
a greek black player, that is so cool
GOAT.
Bucks winner🏆🎉🏆 good morning from Greece🇬🇷😘😘😘😘😘😘
At 26, he's already been through too much in life to have a swollen head. Humility and faith.
Goat talk! Arguably one of the most humble players in the league 🔥⭐️
Mindset often gets overlooked in sports, Giannis is a great example of someone who has a stable mindset along with his elite skills in basketball. He is a person who is still willing to grow even when we all know he has so much wisdom to hold.
He's one of the reason I supported BUCKS all year long. Humility, skill and a leader. Fantastic to see how BUCKS came to life with Giannis joining the franchise.
That's it, when Giannis retires he'll be a life coach
That was honestly incredibly beautiful
Very wise and inspirational, took that like a punch.
LET'S WIN GAME 5 BUCKS
Stay humble
ngl, i don't really follow basketball let alone the Bucks, but this quote made me a huge fan of Giannis. Glad he won a championship; couldn't happen to a more deserving person/player.
Antetokounmpo MVP e campeão Da NBA 🏀🏀👏👏👏💚💚💚
GOAT
I just want to have a game that everybody plays great on the same night We're due it's been a while Let's get this game 5 victory and come home with a chance to end it in 6 sports gods you've been ruff on Wisconsin sports fans the last 30 years you owe us one

That's why I'm in love with you 💕💕 giannis
He is a legend! A Greek God!!! Go Giannis!!!!
That's actually a good message
Giannis is my new therapist!
Courage is the best measure of confidence
I saw this on skip and shannon...love it. Something to learn from.
Beautiful moment by one of the young goats in the game, he’s up next.
That is some deep shit. Really listen to what he said. Go get that 💍 Giannis . I'm rooting for you and the bucks.
Simply inspirational speech by this guy, such a humble and down to earth star. It applies to many things in life besides basketball, or even sports per se. Hope he and the bucks win it at home!
A classic
Truly what Giannis is talking about is so spiritually based. God bless him🙏
That was really nice
Brasil tá ai Bucks love you
He's not just a 7 foot guy that can run and jump high, he is a great role model, good person, this is why he's genuinely my favorite player of all time.
We are very proud of you here in Greece. Not just as a great player but as a person. Being humble and working hard. That's what is all about.
Giannis' mindset really inspired me today. I'm rooting for Bucks tomorrow, for sure they will stand out loud and proud. Bucks @ 6!
