Despite trade rumors circulating for nearly a year regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee, the Bucks star remained firm with his hope to stay with the only NBA team he’s played for. The trade deadline came and went earlier this month, and Antetokounmpo’s wish came true as he wasn’t traded out of Milwaukee.
Antetokounmpo gave his first public interview since the deadline ahead of Sunday’s All-Star Game when speaking to ESPN’s Malika Andrews. Once again, Antetokounmpo reiterated his loyalty to the Bucks—he will never directly say he wants a trade out of Milwaukee, yet he knows the NBA is a business and that it’s possible one day he still could leave.
