In the past few seasons, Bucks star Alphabet Brother has established himself as a superstar in the league with his own efforts. Previously, fans also questioned that he didn't have a championship ring, but that changed last season.
He led the Bucks to great success in the playoffs and won his first championship ring of his career. This season, the Bucks are ready to defend the championship. In the first round of the playoffs, they defeated the Bulls 4-1 and made it to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
If anyone had watched a greek monster game, they might say that he was very capable of scoring points. But that's not how Giannis thinks of himself. In fact, he doesn't think he's mainly relying on scoring to influence the game.
"I don't influence the game by scoring. That's not me. I influence the game by trying to play, trying to block, defending, creating opportunities for my teammates, trying to get into the box, grabbing rebounds, leading my teammates, sometimes needing to speak up. Sometimes I have to score. In my head, I'm not going to think ' Hey, Middleton is down, I have to score. It's the opposite, I thought 'Damn, Middleton went down, now we have to get more people to get those 30, 40 points by moving the ball.' ’”
He continued, "You have to learn to transfer the ball, you have to trust your teammates. If you had asked me five years ago, I would have said, "Yeah, maybe I'll try to score 50." "But that wasn't five years ago."
Through this interview, Brother Alphabet once again won the love of fans. It's great to see one of the league's greatest superstars now, so humble and understanding of his role on the team. The Bucks do need Alphabet Brother to do all the things he mentioned above. After all, Middleton is out with an injury and they need to play a little more team.
