Giannis Antetokounmpo has finally cleared the air and is staying with the Milwaukee Bucks, his first team in the NBA. The Greek player has been linked with plenty of rumors in recent times but he’s finally decided he wants to continue his career in Wisconsin.
Giannis first announced he was staying in Milwaukee before reports saw the light breaking down his contract, which is the largest deal in NBA history. He will remain with the Bucks for the next five years.
As @Giannis_An34 tweeted, he is signing his extension with the Bucks. His agent, Alex Saratsis, tells ESPN it will be for the full five-year, $228M super max, including an opt-out after the fourth year.
