Giving hope to thousands of Greek kids and kids from immigrant families, to believe in the dream and to fight for it. This is his biggest legacy that transcends basketball, and goes beyond the imaginable.

    The humility of this man is unmatched. Didn't leave one person out and started by giving glory to God. He has true humility and gratitude in this speech. I cried when he said he looked up to his younger brothers. This is a great human being and phenomenal basketball player. Well deserved MVP and champion and wishing him success for many years to come.

      Please. He won the MVP for the Practice season, dude was shut down when it got real can't even make a free throw. Not saying he ain't great but save the water works for when you really accomplish something, like winning a fucking championship. These awards are for the selfish non championship players the Harden and Westbrick. Kawhi's at home with the real hardware. Giannis won't get to the next level until he wakes the fuck up and stops kissing the ass of people like LeBron James.
