One of the things I love about you, man, and the reason
why I wanted to bring you on the show
to plug the foundation, is your humility.
You know, you are obviously one of the biggest superstars
in the world, but you're kind, you're empathetic,
you're humble in a league where that's not incentivized.
But I got to be honest with you.
You were in a press conference recently.
Yes.
And they ask you, you're a two-time
MVP and they asked you, who's the best player in the league.
And this is what you said.
Let's play the tape.
Do I believe I'm the best player in the world?
No.
The best player in the world is Steph
Curry until the next player.
I hate that.
I hate that!
You, look, you got this immigrant dad
green card visa energy.
But you're a citizen, bro, you deserve to be here, all right.
And this whole being nice to everybody
else in the league, Giannis, they're
going headhunting for you.
You think those guys want to be nice to you?
I don't think so.
No.
So you got to talk that talk right here
right now in New York City.
Now I know talking trash isn't your strength.
That's my strength.
So you do it for me?
So I wrote you some trash talk
right here to some of the top players in the league,
and I want you to go to camera three right now.
Talk that mother-[bleep] talk!
Let's go!
Let's go headhunting, Giannis.
OK.
There we go.
Listen, Luka--
Yeah.
--even though you're running with
Kyrie and you have him on your team, I'm coming for you guys.
[cheering]
Oh, my, I can't say--
No!
I can't say it.
Give the people what they want, Giannis!
[cheering]
Let's do this. Let's do this.
I'll do it.
I'll be your shit talk translator.
Let's do this.
Get it on me, let's go.
Yeah.
Oh!
What's up, Luka?
Even though you're running with Kyrie,
the scouting report is out on you.
You got sausage arms and cankles.
My man!
For a dude from Slovenia, you sure
look like a dude from Alabama.
And you're going to get this work in the postseason.
That's what you got to say!
All right, all right, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.
He likes Luka, he respects his game.
What about Jokic?
We got to talk about Joker.
I wrote some stuff about Joker.
Oh, my God.
Right here.
Here you go.
This is Giannis giving Jokic that trash talk.
Joker, how are you going to make it through the finals
when you look like you can barely make it through
a Burger King drive-through?
[laughter]
Done.
It's done.
This is what we want!
This is America!
Yes!
Keep going.
Jokic, I love your game.
No! No!
No!
It's like this.
Go back, prompter.
Hey, Jokic, Joker, how are you going
to make it through the finals when you look like you
can barely make it through a [bleep] Burger
King drive-through?
You shouldn't be on the court, you should be checking
IDs outside of a hookah bar.
You got to say it like that.
All right, let's keep going.
Let's keep giving these people this work.
Kevin Durant, let's go.
You keep joining super teams to win the NBA title.
How about, how about we work out together some time
so I can teach you how to carry your own team?
Oh!
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I like that one.
It was like a little simpler.
KD, where's the camera?
Here?
KD, you're one of the best scorer to ever play this game.
I respect your game.
You know, you lead by example for 15 years.
So you were my--
I hate this.
You were my favorite player growing up.
I hate this!
Entertain me!
I respect your game.
I'm sorry.
No, no.
All right, do the LeBron one, and we're
going to get out of here.
But make this one count.
LeBron, I love your game, man.
Oh, no, no, no.
Hey. Your, your--
What is this?
You're not part of--
I love your game.
You're the King for a reason.
GOAT, just broke the all-time scoring record.
Keep doing what you're doing, man.
He's a blueprint.
You're a blueprint, man.
Oh, God!
All right, all right.
Listen, listen, man, everybody we talked about in the NBA,
please don't come kill me.
Giannis, this is what we love most about you,
man, in all seriousness, thank you so much for the work
that you're doing in the league.
You're setting such a great image
for kids around the world.
I'm so honored that I've gotten a chance to get to know you,
and I can't wait to see all the amazing work
you're going to do for the Charles Antetokounmpo
Family Foundation.
