Giannis Antetokounmpo: “Now, about fearlessness: it’s my nature to be fearless. At the end of the day, I really believe that we only live once. You know what I’m saying? One day, it’s all going to end. So, what am I scared of? One day, we’re not going to be breathing. We’ll have a button-up shirt, and let me tell you—promise you this—it’s not going to have pockets. You can’t take anything with you, and you’ll be in a casket. So why fear? There are moments when I’ve come down the court, it’s like 3-on-4, and I had an angle to drive, but instead, I was like, ‘No, I’m shooting a three.’ Airball. Anybody else might fold after that. But me? I don’t care. I’ve air-balled free throws, turned the ball over, missed game-winning shots—I don’t care, man. You can’t go back and change it, so I just keep going. I only live once.” -via YouTube / December 13, 2024
