The same, however, could have been said about Durant in Oklahoma City prior to 2016. The Warriors star cautions against Antetokounmpo getting too caught up in his status in both the community and the Bucks' plans for him beyond the basketball court.
"I'm sure he has nothing but love and respect for everybody that helped him out in Milwaukee and all the fans that cheered for him, but his career is not about them. It's about himself," Durant said. "And I learned that because I said the same things, I lived the same things. I wanted the same things. But it came from a place where I was just so excited about the love I was getting from everybody else. And when I said that, I wanted people to feel good about themselves, I wanted people to feel good about our team and I wanted my organization to feel like I was there for them, I was loyal to them every single day, because I was.
But at the same time, it's about you. It's about going out there and being the best player you can be every single day, working hard every single day, enjoying the game. That's your only job, is to do those things. It's not to fill people up in the seats or [fill] a new arena -- it's not your job.
So I would tell him to live and play his career out for himself."

So basically, Durbeta's already recruiting Giannis to the Warriors. Another MVP, two All-Stars and a Finals MVP off the bench isn't enough, he needs more help.
