Giannis Antetokounmpo shares insight on his career goals: “I can play prime basketball until I'm 35"

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has shown no signs of slowing down his dominance on the basketball court. The 28-year-old superstar believes that he's got plenty of years left in his "prime."

Antetokounmpo has blossomed into one of NBA's biggest stars. Although Giannis is a two-time MVP, his game is still on the rise.

He's averaging a career-best 31.2 points per game. If that holds, it would be the first time Giannis has averaged over 30.0 points per game in a single season. Currently, he is averaging 31.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists while shooting 53.9%.

In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Antetokounmpo talked about how he's obsessed with the game of basketball and believes he's only started to improve his game:

"I'm 28-years-old, tenth year in the league, I feel like I can play prime basketball until I'm 35."
