The Bucks are rapidly gaining momentum. They are just 1 game behind the Celtics in the race for the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference. And they will look for home-court advantage.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, looked almost zen tonight. In his element, and putting up the necessary points for his team. He was sure to congratulate LeBron on his achievement, but for Giannis, there is only one end goal.
The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo want another trip back to the NBA Finals
From the very start of the season, the goal has been to reach the ultimate stage for another shot at the Larry O’Brien trophy. Giannis has stated that he doesn’t care about personal accolades anymore.
Despite putting up 32-12-5, which is the only time ever since Wilt Chamberlain himself. Antetokounmpo wants his rings.

He is also so laser-focused that he said he was unaware of all the trade drama happening in the NBA. In fact, he spoke to Chris Haynes and showed him proof!
The Greek Freak has no social media apps on his phone to keep track of trades
Giannis doesn’t care about Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving moving to other teams. He told Chris Haynes, or he rather showed him that he doesn’t have any social media apps to keep track of it all.
Talk about dedication.

He also posted this on his Twitter. We think he is using a desktop version or has a professional social media manager.
The championship was not played today. All you can take away is the good habits you built. pic.twitter.com/yTIQSqRF7B

As you can tell, he is more than locked in. He wants his rings and he will do whatever it takes. The mentality of a champion, very Michael Jordan-esque.
