The two-time MVP stunned the NBA with an early extension. Thanks to family, he and the Bucks can now 'focus on just basketball.'
MILWAUKEE — star has long viewed family and basketball as the two most important things in his life. So, when faced with his next big life decision, he turned to the one man who connects those two things better than anyone else in his life: his brother, Thanasis. “Obviously, I trust Thanasis to death,” Giannis said Tuesday. “Me and Thanasis, we haven’t separated ourselves since I was born. We were always there. He always looks out for me and has my back in so many ways.
They don’t want to hear about how the Bucks are great or the Bucks suck. That’s what you guys talk about. Not you guys , guys that are not here. But yeah, it makes it easier because we just lock in and just focus on just basketball.” Advertisement Antetokounmpo didn’t need to sign an extension to calm down the situation and take pressure off the organization.
