His morning activity turned into a fun and revealing Q&A session where he talked about his favorite food, his place in Greek basketball history, and personal matters such as how quickly he can change a diaper for his children.

One of the most interesting moments was his answer to the question about team loyalty — Olympiacos or Panathinaikos. Giannis clarified that he is a “Philathletic,” implying no preference for either of Greece’s biggest clubs, and added that his favorite football team as a kid was Arsenal, but now he supports Real Madrid.

He also revealed that his favorite cheese is feta, his favorite food is a chicken gyro, and his top dining spot in Minneapolis is the Greek restaurant “Avli.” With a humorous touch, he joked about how fast he can change a diaper, saying it takes him only 34 seconds.
