Antetokounmpo: You must learn to refer to the standards of people like James and KD to better protect your body

Bucks star Antetokounmpo participated in the team's training camp for the first time and accepted media interviews.

Speaking of physical protection and the career life of modern players, Antetokounmpo said: "Players now know their bodies and goals better. I am by no means disrespectful to my predecessors. We must respect all pioneers who pioneered the path, but now we can get access to more advanced medical technology and better care for our bodies.

"Seriously, if you don't follow the maintenance model of people like Vince Carter, Nowitzki, LeBron, KD, etc., I really don't know what other standards you can refer to. These people have been in high-level competitive state for so many years, and they have exclusive physical therapists and chefs. Like seeing financial advisors regularly to plan assets, they communicate with the medical team at least quarterly about their physical condition and discuss how to stay healthy to achieve their season goals.

"It is this more scientific sense of physical management that extends the player's career. I want to persist in this way. This year is my 13th season. When I am 36 years old, I believe that I can still maintain a high-level competition. That will be my 19th season. Let things go naturally. If you can, you can fight. If you can't fight, you will go to Greece to find an island to live in seclusion." Antetokounmpo quipped.
