Antetokounmpo finally won his first championship in 2021. He also talked about Kobe: "The Mamba spirit is of great significance to me. He replied to me at the beginning, and I thought it was a joke, but he said that my challenge was an MVP, but Kobe made me believe that I have the potential to become an MVP, so I must do it, I must train hard, and I cannot let him down."
