Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke out on Sunday, which may leave Milwaukee Bucks fans a little uneasy about the future.
Antetokounmpo appeared on “The Sports Zone” at FOX 32 Chicago, and seemed to hint that he was open to playing for the Chicago Bulls in the future. The two-time MVP has cited the Bulls’ legacy in the NBA as one of the reasons Chicago has remained an attractive destination for him.
“I think I’ve asked people who play basketball. If he said no, he’d be a liar. It’s a team that won multiple championships and played this game.” It’s a team that has one of the best players, if not the best,” he said.

Antetokounmpo has been one of the most dominant players in the NBA in recent seasons. He signed his five-year, $228 million contract extension before his 2021-22 season began, so if he does join Chicago in the future, it won’t be until he’s in his 30s. .
Milwaukee selected Antetokounmpo with the 15th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He has been an All-Star for the last six seasons and has averaged 21.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game throughout his career.
The story of Antetokounmpo and his brothers, Thanasis and Kostas, who moved from Nigeria to Greece to fulfill their NBA dreams, was the subject of the movie Rise.
