Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a loyal member of the Bucks since the start of his career, and the city of Milwaukee holds him dear as an integral part of their community. In a recent interview, the two-time MVP expressed his unwavering loyalty to the franchise. However, he made it clear that his commitment is deeply tied to the team’s dedication to winning. This implies that there is a potential for him to explore other options in the future if the team’s commitment wavers.
“As long as we play and we approach the game every single day the right way and we all sacrifice for the common goal, I can see myself being a Milwaukee Buck for the rest of my career,” he said on the 48 minutes podcast. “But the moment I feel people are not as committed as I am to get that golden thing [NBA title] in the back, I am not.
“I’m a Milwaukee Buck, but most importantly I’m a winner,” Antetokounmpo continued. “I want to win. I have to do whatever it takes for me to win and if there’s a better situation for me to win the Larry O’Brien, I have to take that better situation.”
Antetokounmpo has once again alluded to the idea of leaving Milwaukee, suggesting that this is not the first time he has raised the possibility. Back in August, he expressed his strong desire to prioritize winning above all else. However, if the Bucks demonstrate their unwavering dedication to achieving success, he may choose to remain with the team. When considering the situation, it becomes apparent that Antetokounmpo’s loyalty is contingent upon certain conditions. Therefore, the franchise should not settle for just one NBA title while he is with them. There is an opportunity to strive for even greater achievements and success in order to fully capitalize on his presence and dedication.
