Here’s Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo on his growth as a vocal leader throughout his career.

(via Milwaukee Bucks):

“I’ve been using my voice throughout my career. Obviously, I played with very experienced players. Growing up when I was younger, 23, 24, 25, all those years, from George Hill, Jrue Holiday, Kyle Korver, Wesley Matthews, Robin Lopez. They were very, very experienced vets. I believe that as I got more comfortable, I’ve become more vocal. Now myself, I view myself as a vet. I view myself like a guy that can help the team, kinda spark something within the team. I just try to use my voice more.

“I feel like the more I use my voice, the more I’m engaged within the game, and guys not only listen to my voice, but follow my example. I’m trying to go out there and lead by example, which that’s what I love to do, but also I know that my voice carries a lot of weight and is very important within the team. So I try to talk as much as I can without allowing my voice to be too much, because I don’t like talk too much every possession, but at times, it’s good your teammates hear your voice and try to follow it.”
