Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most beloved figures in the city of Milwaukee. He brought a championship in 2020 while also showing loyalty to the Bucks since they drafted him in 2013. "The Greek Freak" is entering his 10th year in the NBA with a contract until 2026. However, Antetokounmpo commented about possibly playing for the Chicago Bulls later in his career. He maintained his loyalty to the Bucks, but the comments surely made some people in Milwaukee nervous. "It's a team that have won multiple championships," Antetokounmpo said. "It's a team that one of the greatest players, if not the greatest player to ever play the game played for. So, it's a no-brainer. Everybody would love to play for Chicago." "Down the line, you never know. You never know how life brings it. Maybe I play for Chicago, but right now I'm committed to Milwaukee."
