Accompanied by historic players from the franchise and the history of basketball, the Brazilian stated that this coexistence helps him.

“Having such big names (Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr) from the world of basketball praising me is very special, it just gives me more energy to train and work to do what I know how to do, excelling in what I can stand out. If, to win the game, instead of scoring 30 points, I have to grab six rebounds, throw myself five balls, I’ll do it. They see this well and they see it in me”, revealed Gui Santos.
