There’s never been an interview where I’ve said that. …

Sam Amick: The trade deadline. And before you answer, here’s the thing: The way that people have talked about your situation is that the only way you were going to get traded is if you decided in the next few weeks that you were done and that you would have to make a statement that you want out. I’m not getting that energy at all from you. Is that fair? Giannis Antetokounmpo: One hundred percent. I think I’ve answered this question a lot of times. I’m not throwing a knock at you, but I keep on saying (that) conversations that are happening between other people, third parties, it’s something that I can’t control. I can’t control what you’re going to say with my agent, or with my best friend, or with my chef. I can only control what comes out of my mouth. And not one time have I shown that I’m not invested in this team. And if there was a time on the basketball court where you’ve seen that, “Oh, Giannis doesn’t look like he wants to be a part of this team no more,” I want you to pinpoint that. There’s never been an interview where I’ve said that. So I don’t know why people discredit what I say. Like, even when your article will come out … people will say, “Yeah, but. Yeah, but.”
