“You still do it. You still kind of buckle up. You still lock in a little bit more, but I believe in myself,” Antetokounmpo told The Athletic following the Bucks’ win over the Orlando Magic on Dec. 10. “I really do believe in myself. I do. I really do believe in my work that I put in. I believe in my mindset. I believe everything about myself. I really do. “Good or bad. Win or lose, play well, play bad, I don’t care. I really believe in myself, and I believe in my abilities. I know this will not have been a season that we will be down. No, no, no. I knew we would turn it around because I know myself. I really know myself. When things go bad, people fall, I kind of get a little bit more — how can I say it — I have a little bit different edge about me.” -via New York Times / December 17, 2024
