As the reigning 2x MVP, Giannis is a guy that can swing the fortunes of any NBA franchise. Before the extension, his looming free agency was a huge talking point, in part because wherever he went would make the team become title contenders almost instantly.
But all that is moot now, as Giannis has locked in with Milwaukee for the next five years, securing the biggest contract in NBA history.
The question now is, can he bring them a title? With a commitment in the books, all the focus now will shift towards the team’s performance and how far they are able to go this postseason. Antetokounmpo seems determined, and the Bucks are no doubt breathing a sigh of relief.
