Q. You’re the sixth youngest, I believe the five to do it faster than you (21,000 career points) are a who’s who of people in the history of basketball. Just to have your name alongside those names. Obviously, you have a long way to go to get to the top of those scoring lists in another seven, eight years or whatever it might be. But just to be in that conversation with those guys, what is that going to be? Giannis Antetokounmpo: First of all, we have to talk about who those guys are because I just saw those guys. Talk about Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kevin Durant. I think it’s the GOATs of the GOATs. And I don’t think anybody disagrees in this room. I don’t think anybody in this world disagrees; just to be in that list with them is incredible. Have I accomplished as much as them? I don’t think so. Do I have a lot of room to improve and room to grow in years to keep on writing my own legacy? Yes. And I think getting to the top of the scoring list is not six, seven, or eight years away. I think it’s in my opinion I think it’s four years away, four, five years away, four and a half years away I think when we are going to be 35 years old and sitting this year going to have a discussion of I am in the top list of all time in scoring and I’ve I would have that into existence and not just into existence because I believe that I’m going to do it, it’s something that I want to do… But hey, again that’s too far away. Four, five years from now, I might have four other kids [laughter]. I don’t know if my wife might have left me. Who knows, maybe four, five years from now, four, five years before this, I had zero. I didn’t have kids, and I have kids now. So I just have to worry about Monday against Washington and stay healthy.
