Giannis Antetokounmpo Signs Three-Year, $180 Million Extension With Milwaukee Bucks

Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has signed a contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks. The three-year maximum contract is worth $186 million. 

He announced his extension on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, “Milwaukee! Let’s Get it!” with the hashtags “BucksInSix” and “Extended” after the post. 

Giannis’ future was in question after the Milwaukee Bucks dealt with two disappointing playoff runs after winning the 2021 NBA finals.

In August, he talked about his potential future with the Bucks organization. He said that while he would be loyal to the Bucks, they would have to win if he were to stay long-term.

“This is my team, and it’s going to forever be my team. I don’t forget the people that were there for me and allowed me to be great… But at the end of the day, being a winner, it’s over that goal. Winning a championship comes first. I don’t want to be 20 years on the same team and don’t win another championship,” he told reporters. 

In addition to being a two-time NBA MVP with the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis is also an NBA finals MVP, seven-time NBA All-Star, and NBA Defensive Player of the Year during his time with the team.

Giannis’ contract extension comes after the Bucks traded for Damian Lillard to better position itself in the 2024 title race. The two have reportedly become good friends.
