Antetokounmpo took the time to become the superstar he is today. But once he did, there was no looking back for the "Greek Freak." DeRozan, then with the Raptors, played against Antetokounmpo in the Eastern Conference for a few years before his move to San Antonio in 2018. He witnessed Giannis' rise during those years closely. DeRozan recently spoke about the development the Milwaukee Bucks superstar underwent during that stretch on The Old Man & the Three podcast (H/T Clutch Points), saying: "Being in the East for so long before I went to San Antonio playing against Giannis, and seeing the development to where he is now, it's incredible. It's remarkable the effort that you see he put in to want to be great. "It's something that, as a basketball fan and a spectator, I look at a guy like Giannis, or if I'm someone else who is trying to make it, let me see how dedicated he was." DeRozan added: "Because I remember when he first came to the league, he was just a skinny kid. You would push him around, didn't really know how to play basketball... "But for him, you could tell the dedication in how badly he want it. Even to this day, you could just see how bad he wants it, you can see it physically, his demeanor, when he go out there on court he's a f***ing killer."
