What Giannis said after making NBA history
If my teammate is free, I pass the ball to him and hope he scores, because that's the right move. There will be times when I will play one-on-one, outplay my opponent and score. And there will be times when I will pass and not register. And regardless of the outcome, I'm okay with that because I allow myself to trust my gut. I've worked a lot in my life and I've seen all kinds of defenses. Especially when you play FIBA basketball, the defense there is tougher than in NBA basketball. Not in the playoffs. I mean the regular season.
