Giannis Antetokounmpo talked about how he enjoys the comfort of playing in Milwaukee after spending a few days in Los Angeles for the All-Star Game.

“I could never see myself being out there," Antetokounmpo said. "It’s great for two, three days but it’s a little bit — things are going a little bit crazy.

"Of course, because of the All-Star Game, there was a lot of people there. … In Milwaukee — I love Milwaukee — it’s low-key. I can walk down the road, down the streets without anybody bugging me — nobody interrupts my conversation or anything. I love how quiet and calm Milwaukee is.”

Antetokounmpo was playing in his second All-Star Game.

“Oh yeah, I was definitely better prepared," he said. "I didn’t do much stuff. I talked with my people and people around me that helped me with the all-star arrangement. I told them that I didn’t want to do much this year because I want to take care of my body.

"My first year I did a lot. I couldn’t even rest, I was really, really exhausted. But I think this year I did a better job just arranging the stuff I did.”

Antetokounmpo cannot become a free agent until 2021 and he's likely to be eligible for a designated veteran player extension before then.
