Giannis Antetokounmpo is the most prized name of the 2021 free-agent class.
As a young and unstoppable force, he is considered by many to be the best player in the NBA. But when it comes to the likelihood that he actually leaves the Bucks, the odds don’t seem to favor him signing anywhere else.
According to the words of Giannis himself, if the Bucks keep winning, he’ll keep playing.

Giannis is a rare breed of players today. Instead of bouncing around in search of greener pastures, Antetokounmpo holds loyalty above all else and seems intent in bringing a Championship to his squad.
Still, Giannis did leave room for a future departure there. If the Bucks start messing things up, it seems he’d be willing to entertain an exit.
As far as this season goes, the Bucks have nothing to worry about. On track to win 70+ games this year, they hold the NBA’s best record as they prove, once again, to be a very formidable force in the East.
We’ll see if they can capitalize on the opportuity this year.
