>“We’ve been lucky,” said Middleton, the fellow All-Star who is in his sixth season alongside Giannis. “I think Jon Horst and Bud, they’ve done a great job of just having high character guys in here. They speak about it all the time, like we don’t really have assholes on this team. If we have an asshole, (then) me, Giannis, Bled, Malcolm, whoever, we’re able to kind of get him under control, let him know how we do things here.
>“That’s just our leadership. We know what this team, what this organization, is about. So all the BS, if we have a problem with somebody we go up to them and say it. We don’t like to air out our business to the media, or what-not. We like to handle it within our locker room and figure it out ourselves. If you’re in this locker room with us, you’ll see guys enjoying each other’s company. A lot of guys on the road, teams don’t go out together, eat together, that type of thing. We always do that before every night. A couple guys will all go out to eat and just have a good time enjoying each other’s company, and having fun with it. We’re the type of team that likes to relax and have fun out there. And you play better when (that’s the vibe).”
>It’s a page right out of Gregg Popovich’s playbook, with Giannis playing the leadership part of The Big Fundamental.
>“I think personality wise, and approach wise, he is (similar to Duncan),” said Budenholzer, who spent 19 seasons as a Spurs assistant before his five-year run as Atlanta’s head coach that preceded this Bucks challenge. “It’s him as a teammate. Like, he’s such a great teammate. He’s so humble, but hungry. So humble, but wants to be great and wants the team to be great. Those are all kind of the characteristics of Timmy, and it’s just amazing how his teammates loved him and it’s very similar with Giannis.”

For real, this is an incredible story about the Bucks. Great profile by Sam Amick
My biggest fear before I opened was having to possible deal with negative people and unfair critique, but it’s been nothing like that. I feel like I’ve been welcomed into a wonderful online family of other Etsy sellers and it’s so humbling to see us all helping each other out whether it’s purchasing from each other’s shops or just liking and commenting the crap out of everything. Ive actually been so humbled by this, and I feel like a much more confident person. To anyone who’s nervous to open shop, do it! Put yourself out there, give love to others shops and the karma will come back to you. Shout out to all you amazing sellers and buyers out there!!
Thoughts?
It matters how you win cause it tells others how they should win.
It matters how you lose because it will tell others whether you are worth supporting when you try to win again.
It’s always a good time to be humble, kind and civil. #amliberty
