Giannis Antetokounmpo Talks About New Challenges, Playing For Another Team

 

Following their disappointing 2019-20 NBA season, the Milwaukee Bucks responded strongly by adding a high-caliber two-way player in Jrue Holiday, while also signing 2-time defending MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo to a 5-year, $228.2M max contract.

It was a huge success, as we all know how the following season ended – the Milwaukee Bucks becoming the 2021 NBA Champions.

Now, it his interview with GQ, Giannis revealed that his challenge was to bring a championship to Milwaukee, and because of him loving challenges, he’s always on the lookout for the next one, while saying that it might not be in Milwaukee: 

 

In the end Giannis decided to stay in Milwaukee because it was difficult. And then, improbably, the Bucks won. “One challenge was to bring a championship here and we did,” he told me. “It was very hard, but we did. Very, very hard. I just love challenges. What’s the next challenge? The next challenge might not be here.” It’s not that he doesn’t love Milwaukee, he said. But he was always wary of things becoming too easy. “Me and my family chose to stay in this city that we all love and has taken care of us—for now,” Giannis said. “In two years, that might change. I’m being totally honest with you. I’m always honest. I love this city. I love this community. I want to help as much as possible.”
