The Bucks star shared two photos on Instagram captioned, "I'm not negotiating with myself. The work will be done."
The post received more than 1 million likes in just a day, and tons of comments, and one of those comments came from Bruce Lee's official Instagram account - "π€."
Many took to the comments to leave their thoughts on the two photos the NBA great shared.
His brother Thanasis shared, "π€π€π€" in the comments. Fellow NBA player Serge Ibaka wrote, "Malaka! πͺπΏ always."

"What I try to do is just try to be still and understand that things come and go," the video begins. "Emotions come and go. The important thing is to accept them all, to embrace them all. And then you can choose to do with them what you want versus being controlled by emotion."

Revenge Season Loading...
About a month ago, Antetokounmpo shared how he felt about being snubbed from both NBA All-Defensive teams with a simple yet powerful Instagram post.
"I'm tired of the disrespect. I'm coming," his caption read.
With his recent posts showing how hard he is working during the offseason, it seems the wheels have been in motion for a while. The Bucks star is gearing up for a revenge season filled with wins.
The Bucks commented on his post, "π€π€π€," and Nike seconded that by sharing, "π€." The Antetokounbros Instagram page also shared the same sentiment, "β³π€."
One follower added, "THEY DONT KNOW WHATS COMING! β‘οΈπͺπ½π―," and another said, "The League is not ready."
His post received more than 1.6 million likes and tons of comments that mirrored similar thoughts, saying his "villain arc" is here and that he's "back in that mode."
After the Bucks' season ended, Antetokounmpo was asked by a reporter if he felt the season was a failure. Antetokounmpo used the opportunity to have a teaching moment explaining that "there's no failure in sports."
"Do you get a promotion every year? In your job? No, right? So is every year you work a failure, yes or no? No. Every year you work, you work towards something, towards a goal, which is to get a promotion, to be able to take care of your family, I don't know, provide a house for them, or take care of your parents. You work towards a goal. It's not a failure; it's a step to success," Antetokounmpo passionately said.
"Michael Jordan played 15 years and won six championships. The other nine years were a failure? That is what you are telling me?"
The Bucks star also shared a video on Instagram discussing that topic captioned, "It's steps to success."
