He adores its slow pace, its calm. Moreover, it suits his rigorous training regiment as the laid back town doesn&#8217;t offer much that takes away from his focus and desire to bring the city a championship.<\/p>\n<p>So when asked to play a significant role in the upcoming <em>Space Jam<\/em> sequel &#8212; for which filming would take two weeks away from his summer training routine &#8212; Giannis quickly and fiercely declined.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t like being Hollywood.\u00a0I don\u2019t like all this extra drama. I am just going to try to be me,\u201d Antetokounmpo stated. This offer, which most NBA players would jump at, Giannis didn&#8217;t blink at declining. This implies that not only is he not Hollywood,\u00a0but he&#8217;s also not about much that doesn&#8217;t include ball.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Giannis is focused on the game and nothing else.
