Giannis Antetokounmpo Declines Supermax Extension

And there you have it. The biggest prediction for the 2020-21 NBA season for the biggest storyline of the 2020-21 NBA season. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s days in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform are numbered because he will opt to decline the super-max deal offered by the Bucks. 

The main reason I say this is because the Bucks failed to build him a legit title contending roster over the years and Giannis wants to win rather than staying loyal to one team his entire career. By the end of his career, he could go down as one of the greatest basketball players to ever play in the NBA and adding numerous rings and Finals MVP’s to his list of accomplishments puts him right up there in the conversation for greatest of all-time. 

While it may seem like a joke and may not be anything at all, it is worth noting that the Milwaukee Bucks team barber, yes the guy that cuts all of the player’s hair, made a post on social media, thanking GIannis for the past 6 years and saying quote: “Love you bro and go do what’s best for your family!”

Could this mean Giannis has already told some people who he is extremely close with what he plans on doing? Could this mean this is the Bucks final chance to win a championship with Giannis? 

All indications are pointing toward yes for both of these questions and as a result, Giannis Antetokounmpo could end up being the biggest free agent to ever hit the market in the NBA. Next offseason could end up being extremely interesting and Giannis’ decision could completely alter the NBA for decades to come. 

In the end, Giannis Antetokounmpo has to do what is best for him, his family and his career and ultimately, it does not seem like he can find long-term success and achieve what he wants to achieve in his career in Milwaukee.
