I’m Kristen Peak here with jannis Sant tumbo we’re at the mvpa Brotherhood Deli presented by Chase Freedom Looking ahead to the next 26 games of the regular season uh what’s going to be the main focus for the bucks just to keep on getting better keep on building good

Habits obviously it’s been a very uh hard season with all the changes roster changes uh coaching staff changes uh um but you know you cannot use as as an excuse we still basketball players we still really good in what we do we still have a great team uh building us a say

Good habits throughout the year we have 26 game to get ready to go and compete for the championship I mean you mentioned the coaching changes four head coaches in the last six or seven months no other team has had to put up with that or deal with that do you feel like

You’re on this fast track and how hard has it been to get on the same page right away with Doc Rivers and and his Direction for the team not hard I um with Coach dkings coach sta it wasn’t hard at all they came here to win I’m

Here to win my teammates are here to win wasn’t hard just had to clean some stuff up obviously you know the transition is going to be hard because you have different philosophy different game plan the whole thing is just the whole structure changes uh but at the end of

The day like he’s here to win he won so many games in his career we are here to win and as look as long as that is the first thing in our minds we are going to be good it’s easy to kind of you know partner with people that they want to

Win you’re having an okay season yourself averaging 311 and six some might think it’s an MVP caliber season there’s a couple other names being thrown out there with nicoa yic Shay Gil just Alexander what separates you from them as a player nothing nothing absolutely nothing I try not to fall into that bubble

And I you know I refuse to live my life that way to kind of compare myself with others there’s 7.5 billion people um in this world but I I didn’t even I don’t have a twin brother even if I had a twin brother I would never compare myself

With with him I tried not to fall into the bubble that oh I’m the MVP because of that or I am better because of that or I got more Alla votes because I’m more handsome and that’s not the real real LIF stuff I’m try to be the best

Father I can be the best partner I can be that’s that’s that’s real that’s that’s real life Chase Freedom fuels fandom you’re going to be meeting some of your fans how special is it for you to meet fans in person here at Allstar uh it’s it’s special you know you meet

Fan during the year but like I’m so as a person I’m so locked in yeah uh to my craft and to the game that it’s very hard for me to interact with fans like we are in and out you know from the arena from the

Cities um so you know just be able to have some down time that I can come in here and sit down and talk with the kids you know touch them faceb them you know um sign the T-shirt to shine their head it’s always fun this what the Allstar
