Giannis Antetokounmpo just gave Milwaukee fans a long-awaited glimpse into his future — and it looks like the Greek Freak isn’t going anywhere.
Well, at least for now.
“Well, probably. We’ll see. I love Milwaukee,” Antetokounmpo responded with a smile when asked about his future with the Bucks during a YouTube livestream with popular social media personality IShowSpeed.

This marked the first time in months that the two-time MVP openly addressed his future, and his words hold considerable weight, particularly after a hectic offseason for the Bucks.

Milwaukee made a major move by waiving All-Star point guard Damian Lillard, freeing up space to sign Myles Turner in free agency. Brook Lopez, a key part of the 2021 championship team, also left after seven years to join the LA Clippers.

Despite these departures, the Bucks maintained their core, retaining Bobby Portis, Kevin Porter Jr., and Gary Trent Jr., and adding Taurean Prince, Ryan Rollins, and Jericho Sims to strengthen the roster.

Amid all these changes, it’s clear the Bucks are still centered around their 30-year-old superstar, who has spent his entire 12-year NBA career in Milwaukee, including leading them to a championship in 2021.
However, Antetokounmpo's future has been a topic of intense speculation following the Bucks' disappointing playoff runs.
After their championship victory four years ago, Milwaukee has been eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals for three consecutive years that fueled rumors about the nine-time All-Star forcing his way out in the Cream City to join another title-contending team.
During the show, Antetokounmpo provided some clarity as despite speculations suggesting he might move to a bigger market, particularly New York. He appeared to have ruled out two potential destinations.
“A lot of people have tried to convince me to play [in New York], but nah,” the 30-year-old admitted when asked about whether he intends to play for either the Knicks or the Nets in the future.
