Giannis Antetokounmpo still hasn’t signed his supermax contract in Milwaukee and Lakers fans are still dreaming of potentially landing him in free agency in the future.
On Tuesday, Giannis sat down with Cosmote TV, for an expansive interview about life, basketball, and other things.
One of the quotes that caught NBA fans attention was when Giannis admitted LeBron was not only the best player in the world but that the Lakers superstar was also his idol.
Giannis Antetokounmpo @ Cosmote TV: "Kobe told me to sacrifice if i want to win and be great. LeBron is the best in the world, MVP is another story, i can tell that he is the best and my idol, he is 17 years in the League".

During the interview, Giannis also tried to shut down rumors that he was leaving Milwaukee and going to LA to team up with Anthony Davis and LeBron.
Giannis Antetokounmpo @ Cosmote TV just now: "If LeBron, KD, or AD want to join me in Milwaukee, i will be happy. I don't care about being number 1, or number 2, or number 3". More to follow…

Despite that Lakers fans are convinced Giannis is coming to LA to form a new superteam next season after he called LeBron his idol.
