They told me ‘You’re with O.J’ and I was like ‘Who is O.J.?’ And he [Mayo] said, ‘you f****** don’t know who I am?’ He was pissed.” “I was like, ‘Sorry! I never watched the NBA. I watched the European basketball," Giannis then justified himself to Mayo. “And even if I watched the NBA, it was you know highlights. What made me not being scared about the NBA is because I did not know who they were, what did they did in college. “I was just seeing people. And I was like from now on, Can you be better?” said Giannis. It is probably this mentality that has led the MVP this far and is in such high demand." source - essentiallysports.com
