“I was with Giannis when he was a young kid, where all he did was eat, sleep, and breathe basketball, which I’ve seen LeBron do now,” said Dudley, Giannis’ teammate in Milwaukee in 2014-15, Antetokounmpo’s second season. “He was at the practice facility day and night with his brothers. Getting shots, in the weight room. He was still living at home with mom at the time. His whole thing was basketball. Giannis was trying to learn about America. He was intrigued by different movies, ‘Boyz ’n the Hood,’ ‘Coming to America,’ he was trying to ingratiate himself into American culture. From a competitive angle, Giannis hated to lose. He has that stare in him that LeBron gets when he has a dunk. He was figuring out that no one could really guard him, even at a young age. Both unselfish. Both make teammates better.”
