The “Greek freak” is for the first time part of the big show and he enjoys every moment of it. Still he felt butterflies as he admitted to Carmelo Anthony when the veteran All Star asked him if he was nervous.
“A little bit”, said Giannis and Melo answered: “You’re too big to be nervous.”
Here’s what Giannis had to say after the end of the practice.
Still he could make some long range shots in the practice with a full gym looking at him. The practice was attended by many fans who wanted to be near their idols for every possible moment during the All Star Weekend.
You can see, however, that there’s quite a difference to the way Giannis is treating the New Orleans experience in comparison to the more experienced All Stars, like for example “King” LeBron.
