Giannis Antetokounmpo has had time to digest the conclusion of his 13-year run with the Bucks. After a messy, extended breakup that included trade requests, the massive deal that sends the longtime face of the franchise to the Heat became official Monday.
With the trade that was agreed upon two weeks ago now finalized, Antetokounmpo shared an emotional tribute message to the franchise, the city and its fans. He came to Milwaukee as a lanky, 18-year-old prospect and leaves with two MVP awards, 10 All-Star appearances, a Defensive Player of the Year trophy and an NBA title in 2021, for which he was named Finals MVP.
