LeBron James says never winning DPOY in his career bothers him:
“That's the only award that I don't have in my house… That kind of stings. It doesn’t make sense. The year I finished second in Defensive Player of the Year, the guy who won didn't even make First Team All-Defense.”
“I also had an opportunity to be the first unanimous MVP, where I got all 120 votes, but I got 119. It was the one vote, and he voted for Carmelo. It was a writer from Boston, of course. I know his name too, but I ain't going to give him that light just yet.”
“Why are they voting? That doesn't make sense. I don't know the answer, but why are they voting if you're not watching the game, you're not studying the game, and you're not listening to the peers in the game who are telling you, ‘He’s the best player.’”

Ryan Conwell on surrendering No. 7, "Giannis, I mean, he get whatever he wants. I'm just now coming into the league. I got a lot of work to do and I'm trying to get to where he's at. So whatever number Giannis wants, he can have it. And I'm going to take whatever number the team gives me."
@DC_Bucks_Fan He says 5 seconds into the clip that he met her in Vegas & it didn’t go well. Miami at all star weekend is where they actually had there connection finally take off.
Giannis talks about realizing who you really represent when playing basketball:
"People don't understand when you're on the court, you represent the jersey, the Bucks, you represent your family, yourself, whoever you believe you got. But there's so many people that you also represent, but you don't even understand. You don't understand, until you take a break, take a pause, and walk out in the street and people approach and talk to you about it."
"That's when you start realizing like 'man, man, man, man' it's bigger than basketball. You made people feel something. It's bigger than basketball."
Giannis told @Paschketball he's scared of change:
"I'm scared. I'm scared of change. I'm scared that the grass is not always greener. People love me here. People respect me here. People allow me to be myself here in the city. I'm scared I might not be able to find that ever again."
