Milwaukee continues to wait for the mouthpiece of Yannis Antocompo.

In the United States, it is estimated that the Greek star will sign a new maximum contract in the Bucks' ranks, but there are also estimates that he will leave - whether in trade, or when he becomes a free agent in the summer of 2021. In an interview with Greek television last night (Tuesday).



"These are things I never said. If LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis had come to Milwaukee, I would have been happy," he said.

"I don't care if I'm the first name on the list, second or third, because I want to win. At 18-19 I may not have understood what it takes to win, but now I'm 25 and understand that when I retire, that's what they will remember from me. I do not care if I'm the player The best in my team. "



And when it comes to LeBron, the Greek freak referred to all those people who claimed that James should have won the MVP title - not the Milwaukee star: "Should I be angry if he wins and I don't? Don't be crazy. I adored LeBron seven years ago, He was like Michael Jordan. Now I'm in the same sentence with him. LeBron is a great opponent and I want to beat him, he's the best player in the world right now



.

The day I become the best player in the world, I can say that.

Right now, LeBron is above them all.

Is the example I see when I go up to the parquet, also as a person.

He's been in this business for 17 years and you've never heard of anything bad about him.

He never made a mistake. "

On the championship his brother Costas won as a bench player at the Lakers, Yannis said: "To all those people who say Kostas won the title before, listen - these things do not exist. We all sleep together in a tiny room. "MVP. We are one family. Imagine how my mother feels."



On the continuation of his career, the Greek freak said: "I will not stop until I get everything I want. I want to win a medal, I want to win the NBA championship. Maybe I will continue to play until the age of 45, nothing burns for me. I need to improve my shooting I'm proud of what we did in Milwaukee, we started with a team of 15 wins and we got to a team that wins 60 games a season. Last season we could reach 65-70 wins. Even if I was the fifth player or "Sixth in nature in the group, I was satisfied."
