The Milwaukee Bucks are currently the NBA’s best team as they have the best record across the league.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates are attempting to win a second championship in three years.

In a recent interview, Antetokounmpo was asked about the feeling of winning a title. And, well, the Greek Freak claims the feeling is better than “getting intimate,” per The Athletic.

At first, Giannis Antetokounmpo was shy to respond to the question, as he was afraid of going viral.

“Man, that feeling. That feeling was a great feeling. That feeling was one of the best feelings I’ve had, and I’m not even going to say what I’m thinking because it’s probably gonna go viral.”

But, eventually, he gave in. “Man, I’m sorry, man. I’m sorry, but it’s better than getting intimate. You know what I mean? Man, what?! (laughs at himself). You know, I love my wife-to-be-soon. I love my kids.”

It sounds like Giannis Antetokounmpo thought his claim was wild as well and had to reiterate his love for his family. The Bucks star is absolutely hilarious and you never quite know what he’s going to say next!

From there, the Greek Freak went on to explain the feeling of winning an NBA championship and how badly he wants to have that feeling again.

Here is a snippet of his lengthy response.

(The championship) was the greatest feeling in my life, and I definitely want to repeat that feeling. And I want to do it again with my teammates, and I want us to be the last team standing. I want for those two, three months of the summer to feel like I’m the best player in the world, where our team has won the whole thing and I was the last guy standing.

Hopefully, Giannis Antetokounmpo gets to have that feeling again. With the Bucks at the top of the league right now, there’s a good chance he can make it happen.
