Giannis Antetokounmpo has a unique story and work ethic that have taken him from the streets of Athens to becoming a two-time NBA MVP. One thing that separates him from other stars is his rare workout philosophy of not working out with active players. It's something he has mentioned here and there throughout his NBA career, and it holds strong to this day.
The Greek Freak spoke to Sport24 recently, saying that he prefers to work with some of the greatest basketball players from previous generations to open up his game. For instance, as his mid-range game has improved, one Hall of Famer he mentioned was Carmelo Anthony, hoping the former New York Knicks star can help improve his variety of shot selection.
