Pelle Larsson on the Giannis shock: 'Thought I was traded'
The Swede was terrified when the Heat traded the superstar. Now he aims for the title — and a starting place in the starting five.
Pelle Larsson admits he felt an outright panic when the Miami Heat completed their mega deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis. The Swedish guard thought his time in the team was over, but with the contract secured, he has now turned worry into motivation.
