With all eyes on Giannis Antetokounmpo over the past week following his comments about his NBA future, star teammate Khris Middleton shared his thoughts on the Bucks superstar’s future with the team.
During a recent interview with ESPN, Middleton addressed Antetokounmpo bluntly stating he could see himself being a Bucks lifer as long as the team stays committed to winning another championship. To some, the comments seemed to be a veiled hint at a potential future exit, but in Middleton’s estimation, the two-time MVP was, instead, shedding light on a business mindset he’s maintained for years.
“I think it’s kind of business as usual either way,” Middleton said. “It doesn’t affect me personally. I don’t think it affects us as a team. I think this is something he said almost every year he’s come up in contract extension talks.”
