Are we getting free Chick-fil-A for life now? I want free Chick-fil-A for life. There's no way. That's why I signed in Milwaukee. So I can get free Chick-fil-A for life.

The Big Suey: Millionth Annual Independence Day Beach Bash 2001
This is the last time I'm going to say it. I won't talk a lot because it doesn't really matter. One thing I'll say is that I believe like being humble in victory. That's how I am. Now there can be a lot of people out there that are like, no, when you win the game, you gotta talk shit. And you know, it's a green light for you to be disrespectful towards somebody else. I disagree.

I've won the championship. They haven't. Okay. And that doesn't say anything. I'm not trying to minimize their effort. But I remember when I won, my mom, My mom, she's never missed the games from February, February 11th or 13th when she came in Milwaukee against the Knicks. She's never missed a game. When we won the championship, I remember my mom, she was scared to cross.

She was like, am I allowed to come and hug my son? I see, except now my brother does media for this year. He wants to come back and play. But like, except the Nets, you've never seen my family. Like, of course I see this is not something that we do. We don't. I try to keep my family away from the game. But...

Losing the game, emotions run high, having a fan, which at the moment I thought he was a fan, but then I realised he was Tyrese's son, which I love. Tyrese, I think, is a great competitor. He was his dad, sorry. Coming in the floor and showing me his son a towel with his face, this is what we do, this is what we effing do, this is the eff we do. I feel like that's very, very disrespectful.

You know, my dad, my dad, if you guys go and ask and learn, my dad's not with us no more. My dad used to come in the family room and he was the most respectful person ever. You know, when you come from nothing and you work your whole life, to sell stuff in the street and your whole life you'll be scared of the police of deporting you and sending you back to your country.

The Big Suey: Millionth Annual Independence Day Beach Bash 2001
You have to protect your kids with all means. You create this mentality of being humble your whole life to not kind of disrespect anybody, not make the tension high, the emotions high, so anybody can, you know, snitch on you, say something bad about you. So when he came here, I remember, I was like, Dad, why are you so humble? Why are you going to the family room? You don't even say a word.

You sit in the back. Why are you like that? Don't worry about it. That's how I grew up. That's what I had around. So when I see other dads, which, don't disrespect, maybe if my son plays basketball, I might be in the court. I might be the one on the court and, like, 20 years later, you can play this interview and say, Giannis, you're contradicting yourself. But we'll see in 20 years.

But I'm talking about right now how I feel. You know, having a... Somebody's that which I'm happy for him and I'm happy for his son and I'm happy that he's happy for his son. That's how you're supposed to feel. But coming to me and disrespecting me and cursing at me, I think it's totally unacceptable. Totally unacceptable. Okay?

And I'm not the guy that points fingers because in my neighborhood, snitches get stitches. So I don't want to say something for him to say to get fined or anything. But it's not respectful. I talk with him at the end and I think we're in a good place.
