Giannis Antetokounmpo and Trey Hendrickson were born one day and an ocean apart in the first week of December 1994. They are now both elite professional athletes, but in a sense, they remain an ocean apart.
Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, is under contract for three more years with a player option, at more than $54 million per year. But his camp is now planting stories about him being “open-minded about exploring whether his best long-term fit is remaining in Milwaukee,” and we know how these stories tend to go in the NBA. He will either get traded to a team that appeals to him, or he will pressure the Bucks to make changes he desires. One way or the other, the Bucks will capitulate.
