From Greek gods to his wedding night, highlights from Giannis Antetokounmpo's media day

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo held a 20-minute question and answer session with local media at Fiserv Forum on Monday, and while he was asked about his pairing with Damian Lillard, his summer playing in the Olympics and the team's new additions -- people wanted to know about his wedding to longtime partner Mariah Riddlesprigger and...Greek gods?

Here are some highlights from Antetokounmpo's media day:

Did you make any adjustments to your offseason to try and stay healthy this year?

Antetokounmpo: Not much. I’ll take care of my body the best that I can. There’s going to be moments that are going to be unfortunate, like I wasn’t expecting to April 9th, to get hurt and injure my calf. There’s going to be moments like that, things that you don’t expect. But you’ve just got to be ready the best that you can, take care of your body and try different things. That’s what I did this offseason. At the end of the day, I have to realize it’s very important to stay healthy because it gives you a chance to be good, it gives you a chance to help your team, it gives you a chance to win something. When you’re not available, the chance goes down to zero. I don’t want to talk too much. Just taking care of my body the best that I can. I hope I’m not unfortunate moving forward.

Other Eastern conference teams made big moves. Can you keep up and are the Bucks being overlooked?

Giannis Antetokounmpo: I think we’ve always been overlooked. But at the end of the day, I haven’t paid attention to the moves the other teams have made. Probably when I get to camp, I’ll hear the guys talking about where different guys went and all the trades that happened. But at the end of the day I try to focus on myself as much as I can. Focus on my team, focus on my body and try to stay healthy. I’m just going to start with that, I really don’t pay attention and let my mind travel to different places I cannot control. I try to stay here and what’s most important for me is to stay healthy and be available. So that's what I think about right now and how can I help my team be better. And the group of guys that we have right now on my team. If I figure out what the adjustments other teams made in trades and players and who we signed and who got waved and all that maybe I can give a better answer.

If you had a choice to be a Greek god, which Greek god would you be and why?

Antetokounmpo: Oh my god.

You’ve never been asked that before?

Antetokounmpo: No. What do you want me to say? You want me to say Zeus?

Hercules?

Antetokounmpo: Hercules was a demi-god, half human. Aphrodite? She was the goddess of love, right?

She’s the goddess of beauty…

Antetokounmpo: Beauty? Of course, that. Beauty. Love. So, I’ll be the god Aphrodite.

How happy are you to have married Mariah and can you share any details about the celebration?

Antetokounmpo: I'm really happy that we were able to get this done. Been a long time. I've been feeling some heat for a long time. But yeah, I was happy our friends, loved ones came to support us. And you said what was my favorite part from the wedding? I think the wedding night. After the wedding. That was my favorite part.
