‘Chef Curry’ was referring to an interview where Giannis Antetokounmpo sat down with SiriusXM NBA Radio and gave a glimpse of what he had in mind post-retirement. The ‘Greek Freak’ said he wants to disappear after retiring from the NBA. It does not seem like he wants to stay in the spotlight after his playing days are over. And looks like he’s taking a play from San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan.
"I'm like the opposite, Giannis said he wants to disappear I might have to chase Shaq's commercial record"
@StephenCurry30 might catch up to @SHAQ when it comes to commercial appearances 🤣

Giannis said, “I want to be like Tim Duncan. Where the hell is Tim Duncan?!” The Spurs legend was known for his silent demeanor and leadership qualities without having to be too vocal. He ended up playing 19 seasons for the San Antonio Spurs and won five NBA championships along the way.
Chasing Shaq’s commercial record may not be easy, as the Big Aristotle has amassed a net worth of around $400 million. But it will sure be fun for fans to see Curry make appearances in advertisements every now and then.
