Giannis Antetokounmpo: I have a crazy story about O.J. Mayo. So I got drafted, and then they sent me to Gerk’s camp. Do you remember that — in Las Vegas? And then I came here, and it was like right before training camp. A lot of players came, and O.J. Mayo was one of them — which, I love O.J. Mayo to death. And they were like, “You're with O.J.” And I looked at my coach at the time, Josh, and I said, “Who's O.J.?” And he said — sorry for my language — he said, “This motherf*** don’t know who the f*** I am?”**
Giannis Antetokounmpo: Yes. And then I realized the story — he played in Dallas, he played in Memphis and all that. And then I went and I apologized. I said, “Hey man, I'm sorry. Like, no disrespect. I just— I didn’t follow the NBA, you know?” And he was like, “No, I like you, young fella. Blah blah blah.” Then he helped me out. He paid for all my furniture. Austin Rivers: Really? Giannis Antetokounmpo: Yes. That’s my OG. My guy, man. My guy. Austin Rivers: He even paid for your furniture? Giannis Antetokounmpo: O.J. Mayo paid for my furniture. Like, helped me out — moving in. Austin Rivers: That’s a bet. Giannis Antetokounmpo: One day, I got locked outside my house — I don’t know how — He took a butter knife, like two butter knives, and he did this… opened the door for me. He was like, “Okay, young fella, get in. We figure it out tomorrow.” Like, he was my guy, man. Anything I needed, I called O.J.
Michael Carter-Williams on OJ Mayo: "I remember asking him, ‘What are you doing today?’ He said, ‘We’re in Chicago, I’m going into the city.’ I said, ‘What for?’ He’s like, ‘I’m about to go shoot for some bread.’ So, he comes back with a duffel bag with like $50,000 in it. I’m like, ‘Yo, you won all that just off shots at the gym?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, we were all just in there.’ Then he left the bag on the bus while we were going to practice. That’s OJ. That’s just how he lived."
