In an exclusive interview with COSMOTE TV, Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke about the EuroLeague favorites and the Bucks.
Giannis was asked once more about the possibility of leaving Milwaukee.
“As Americans say, opinions are cheap — that’s why everyone has one. Right now, at this moment, I’m in Milwaukee.”
Giannis repeated that he feels loved in Milwaukee; however, he would love to win another championship, so things should be moving towards this goal. Still, he will never force his way out through a trade: “I am not this kind of guy.”
But could he leave this summer?
“I don’t know if I’ll leave — it’s not up to me. If it was up to me, maybe I already would have left. In a year and a half, when I become a free agent at 32, it will be up to me.”
One thing is certain: he does not intend to sit out the rest of the regular season to protect himself, even though the Bucks are having a good year, and he doesn’t believe the team would ask him to.
“No one can dare come and tell me not to play. I never gave anyone that right — as long as my legs allow me, I’ll be out there.”
