Since his 2013 debut, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been an integral part of the team’s success, but he recently stated that the 2021 NBA champion is considering his options.

As feared, Giannis Antetokounmpo has hinted that he may soon seek an exit from the Milwaukee Bucks.

The ‘Greek Freak’ is gearing up for his 11th season with the Eastern Conference franchise, but he will be doing it without coach Mike Budenholzer, who was let go after the team’s disappointing first-round playoff elimination. The team was eliminated from the playoffs in the first round in five games by the Miami Heat, and its 28-year-old star player is eager to get another shot at the NBA Finals.

The desire to once again challenge for the Larry O’Brien trophy is why he made it obvious in an interview with Bleav Sports that he would be willing to leave the Bucks. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, and I am a winner. I aim to succeed in life. I’ve been named league MVP twice, so my comfort level is irrelevant.

“At the end of the day, I want to create new memories, I want to win a lot of championships,” Antetokounmpo elaborated. “I have to take the better situation if there is one if I want to win the Larry O’Brien.”

Antetokounmpo is one of the most dominant players in NBA history, and defending against him is a nightmare due to his size, power, speed, and all-around skill. He has appeared in the All-Star Game seven times, won the Most Valuable Player Award in 2021, and been named to the All-NBA First Team five times.

The 2020 Defensive Player of the Year has never been to the NBA Finals, despite his individual honors and his one championship won two years ago. A three-year agreement for Antetokounmpo could be worth about $173 million.

In August, he told the New York Times he wasn’t in a hurry to sign with the Bucks because he wasn’t confident in their championship chances. If I don’t know that everyone’s on the same page, he added, “I won’t be the best version of myself.”

“Everyone is trying to win a championship, and everyone is willing to spend as much time away from their loved ones as I am. If I don’t have that feeling, I won’t sign. I believe that my teammates and the organization are fully aware of my ultimate goal of bringing home a championship.

If you can convince me that we’re on the same page and that we can win a championship if we work together, then I’m all for it. If I can convince myself that the Milwaukee Bucks are in fact trying to rebuild, then I promise that I will never hold a grudge against them.

Being a winner is all about reaching the finish line. The primary priority is to win the title. If I’m on the same team for the next 20 years and we don’t keep winning, I’m going to go crаzy.
