Giannis Antetokounmpo Says His Teammates Gifted Him Pens To Sign His Extension With The Bucks: “It Got A Little Bit Old.”

Last week, on Giannis’ 26th birthday, the Bucks superstar was apparently spammed with gifts of pens from many of his teammates. It was a funny attempt by the squad to try and get Giannis to commit to an extension with the team, but the Greek Freak admitted himself that it just kind of got old after a while…

Khris Middleton presented his teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo with a gift for his 26th birthday: a pen. Antetokounmpo did not understand its significance at first.

“Then I was thinking about it, and I realized he was wanting me to sign the contract,” he said.

Antetokounmpo got the joke. He thought it was funny. But as more teammates arrived and they continued to bestow him with pens, he apparently stopped laughing.

“It got a little bit old,” he said. “I’ve got 20 pens here in my locker.”

Aantetokounmpo is set to be the biggest free-agent star since LeBron James. As a 2x MVP at just 26, he can lead any team in the league to years of prosperity.

While the Bucks have remained confident in their chances to keep the star, many teams around the association have already begun their pursuit of the 2x MVP, including the Heat, Mavericks, and Warriors.

Giannis’ reluctance to sign an extension in Milwaukee certainly spells good news for those squads, but it remains to be seen where he’ll end up by the time it’s all said and done.
