The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best young groups in the NBA. With Greg Monroe signed on to become the post presence they’ve been begging for, they have a core that can be a contender in the East soon. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Kris Middleton, Michael Carter-Williams, O.J Mayo, Greivis Vasquez, John Henson seem like the perfect 8-man rotation that is filled with youth.
Giannis, loves it. According to Giannis himself, who has started blogging with EuroHoops:
From my side, I feel that I want to be playing in the Bucks. I’m not talking about my next contract. The way I feel now, I want to keep playing for the Milwaukee Bucks for the next 20 years!
You never know how life turns out. Three years ago I was thinking that I might be playing for Filathlitikos forever! All of a sudden, the draft emerged, the NBA, the Bucks and everything that followed. I don’t know how I’ll be feeling and thinking in 2, 3 or more years. Right now I feel like I want to play for the Milwaukee Bucks forever.
I’m a guy who doesn’t really care about glamour and big markets. I like to be home all day. I get up in the morning, I take a shower and I go to practice. When I’m finished, the only thing that’s on my mind is to go back home and spend time with my family. I usually feel that I prefer to hide from people.
Okay, if LeBron said to me ‘Come to my team and play with me,’ I’d think about it! (laughs) He’s the best player in the world and a member of that exclusive group of the best that have ever played the game. Still, though, the Milwaukee Bucks would come first. They will always be the team that gave me my chance and opened up the doors to paradise.
So as long as LeBron James doesn’t start paying attention to what’s happening in Milwaukee, the Bucks will most likely be keeping Giannis for a long time. There was no real discussion of him ever leaving. He is a core person which adds length and athleticism that is freakish in its nature.
