Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the biggest names in the NBA and in all of American sports, and he has just signed a three-year contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks worth 186 million dollars.
Despite the huge pay day coming his way, Antetokounmpo didn’t actually check the numbers as much as you might have expected.

“It was the first time in my NBA career I didn’t know the number of my contract, I just signed it because I wanted to be here,” he told reporters.

He was also very quick to express his thanks to the Bucks as an organisation for how they have supported him throughout his career and allowed him to become one of the best players in the NBA.
“I’m very loyal, when you were there for me in the beginning I’m there for you for the rest of our lifetime,” Antetokounmpo said.
“I want to be committed. I want to give back to the city of Milwaukee.
“We won one championship but I believe we can win a second one.
“I will try my best, while having fun playing the game, and I hope I can create another parade in the near future.”
Antetokounmpo averaged a career-high 31.1 points per game last season and he will now play alongside seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard, who joined as part of a trade in the off-season.
The Bucks are aiming to secure their third ever NBA title this season and, with Antetokounmpo tied down to a new contract, they are certainly contenders.
