Winning an NBA championship has never been easy.
LeBron James spent nine years in exchange for his first NBA championship, the Golden State Warriors had 40 years between their third and fourth championships, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won the championship. Very long and well covered Secret Base’s “Selection” series.
Some of the greatest basketball players have never even won championships in their brilliant careers.
Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Elgin Baylor, Patrick Ewing and current Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash either lost in the Finals or never reached the greatest stage of basketball.
This makes the recent achievements of the Milwaukee Bucks significant to the team.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected 15th in the 2013 NBA Draft. Due to his slender body, extremely long arms, and a name that is difficult to pronounce and spell correctly even today, he quickly became accessible to everyone. The spectacle to see.
Antetokounmpo is affectionately called the “Greek freak”. He worked hard on his skills and added muscles to fill his body, making him one of the most athletic and powerful players in the current NBA era.
In recent years, many people believe that he will never win a championship in Milwaukee. He either needs to join a super team or build his own super team to win.

The appearance of Chris Middleton and their trade to Juholidi were made at the right time, as the Bucks won the second championship title in franchise history after a 50-year drought.
Antetokounmpo appeared in the “conversation” of the sports center Malika Andrews recounted his journey from MVP to champion, and asked him what unfinished business was left when he became the two-time MVP last year, but he didn’t want to be recognized until he won the championship.
“I always wanted to be a champion. Period. I think whenever I keep hearing the word’MVP’, I don’t just want to settle down,” said the 2021 Finals MVP.
“I don’t want to settle down [with just the MVP]. It’s okay, whatever you want. I’m doing great now. Everyone knows who I am. I’m famous in the league or in any other situation, but that’s why I never want something that I can’t work hard to stop me. “
Now that he has fulfilled his promise to obtain the title of a great city, the burden on his shoulders has been relieved.
However, knowing his motivation as a competitor, the “Greek Freak” was not satisfied even after winning.
“Don’t call me anything. I have the same mentality [as I did before]. That’s the messy part of my brain. We just did it. I’m already thinking about’how can I do it again, how can I make this team better, what can I improve to help this team become better’. “
Even if he admitted that it was very difficult to win the second championship, he was very happy to know that he and his team did it without attracting big-name free agents.
“We may never win another one. It doesn’t matter. We did it. We did what we should. I would rather do this than go to other places on the super team to win two or three games.”
The story of Antetokounmpo as a Greek child who grew up from scratch is what the “American Dream” is all about. Prosperity and success are based on years of hard work.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have worked hard, and it is only a matter of time before prosperity and success finally arrive.
