Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is thinking about basketball 24/7, so it's hard to blame him for trying to avoid talking about it at home.
There's no doubt Giannis loves the NBA and the sport. The problem is, he might be too addicted to it that it might drive him crazy to just talk about it all the time.
When asked if he watches NBA games amid the intense 2021 playoffs, the Bucks forward admitted he tries to keep out of it when he's at home. He leaves his phone in his room and turn off notifications just to avoid getting updates about the game, and he prevents his girlfriend and brother from talking about it in front of him.
For Giannis, all he cares about right now is the Bucks and what he can do to help. That is where his focus is right now and not on other matters that concerns him.

This is a pretty good mindset for Giannis Antetokounmpo, to be honest. After all, as what we have learned in the previous years, keeping focus is of utmost importance in the playoffs where every game matters.
For the Bucks, this is even more crucial after they swept the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. They are set to face the Brooklyn Nets next, a team headed by the Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Simply put, Milwaukee can't afford to lose focus moving forward or it could spell doom for them.
Luckily for the Bucks, they have a leader in Giannis who can keep their heads straight when needed. He's a basketball junkie, but he knows where his priorities are.
