The Greek superstar emphasized the importance of health.

"Take care of his body. Very important. Being healthy. Because there's a lot of games, a lot of practices, a lot of shootarounds," Antetokounmpo said in an interview with David Aldridge from The Athletic. "There's going to be a lot of wear and tear. Take care of your body. Take care of your mental. Keep working on your game."

"And if you do all of those things, and you're disciplined, things will go well. If you have a lot of talent, things will go well. Just (sought) out knowledge anywhere I can. Anywhere I can figure out things that can improve me as a person, as a basketball player.

I always tried to listen, tried to learn as much as I can. 'Cause the potential of learning, it's unlimited. You can always learn something new. It doesn't matter what year you're in the league; it doesn't matter how old you are. You can always learn something about somebody. You can always learn an interesting thing you had no idea about. Learn about things you're passionate about," Giannis added.

There were plenty of questions about whether Wembanyama would be able to withstand the NBA schedule, but the 19-year-old has been doing great so far.

Wembanyama played in 26 of 29 Spurs games this season, averaging 18.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, and 2.8 assists per game.
