"Thank you very much. Thanks to all the people and during the season and from the first moment we play basketball they have supported us. I have no words.
I have not believed it yet. In Milwaukee we were shouted that we were winners. and the time that we have to defend the title is something incredible. When you are a small child and you watch Youtube and you see celebrations and trophies and you say I wish I could take part in something incredible, and make it a reality. "I lived it last year with my other brother and I live it this year as well", said Thanasis Antetokounbo initially.
For his part, Giannis said the following: "I thank all the people who have gone to the NBA and are living our dream. We are happy to be back and see our friends. Glad we brought the cup together. We had to go through a long process. I am very happy because it is one of the biggest trophies in the world located in Greece. I do not know how many days he will be here but we will take him to the places where we grew up, Sepolia and Zografou. Now that we have seen it again, we still do not believe what has happened. It is terrible. With hard work from both of us and the team. And of course that everyone supported us from Greece and wished the best for the team.
I still do not believe it. All year I tried not to see highlights and games. Every morning I turn on the TV and watch the Milwaukee Bucks, champions. I want to cry; To laugh; I have not believed it yet. 75.000 people off the field, full of stadiums in every match. At the parade, everyone shouted bucks in Six.
Only we managed and lived it so young with my brother and my family. I do not care to go out in a T-shirt. All the moments I lived in the locker room and in the match and in the final and with George Panou in the locker room. I want to relive it with my teammates. It only lasted one night. I want to relive it as a team and wish us to become better as a team. And to be still hungry to win. And to live such moments again with Milwaukee and the National. With our heads down we will relive such moments again. With God again next to us. This feeling is addictive. I want to experience it again. We are like humans. We want to get better with Thanasis. To reach our limits. We will do terrible things in our career having God by our side ".
