After losing to the Miami Heat in the 2nd round of the 2020 NBA Playoffs, Milwaukee Bucks came out of the Orlando bubble with massive doubts around the future of their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak had a historic 2019-20 individual campaign, becoming only the 3rd player to win both the Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards in one season.
With the Milwaukee Bucks struggling to reach the NBA Finals for the past 2 seasons, there were questions raised in the offseason as to what direction Giannis might take in order to enhance his legacy. There were multiple pundits, who felt that the 26-year-old had to leave Milwaukee in order to win that much-awaited 1st NBA Championship.
So with just 6 days to go before the start of training camp, Giannis Antetokounmpo put an end to all the rumors surrounding his future by signing a Supermax contract extension worth $228.2 million over 5 years.
