Reigning MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo was inspired by many players to reach this level. But for the Greek Freak, there is one idol that stands out so far, and she still plays in the current league.
These last weeks, Giannis Antetokounmpo gets a lot of talk about his future. Until December 21, he has the option of extending his contract with the Bucks. If he decides to reject the proposal, he will then become a free agent in 2021, with the vast majority of the league chasing him. It’s a bit like that, the phenomenon of the Greek Freak.
Double MVP in title, the Greek knows he is expected and it is not every day that a player of his caliber is likely to change franchise. The Heat are already dreaming of attracting them, but the cost looks simply insane for them. Regardless, the suitors will be there if Giannis really wants to leave Wisconsin.
After all, he could decide to do like his idol and rally to another destination in order to win a title. Indeed, during a recent outing with Cosmote TV, Buck has spoken out about his childhood idol, and she’s still in the league since it’s about LeBron James. The King had not hesitated to join the Heat to increase his legend.
Kobe taught me that you have to be able to sacrifice things in order to win and become a great player. LeBron is the best in the world, MVP is another story, but I can say he’s the best and my idol, he’s in his 17th season in the league.
A longevity of the King which still impresses as much, and we know that all the players in the league aspire to do as well as him in this area. If Giannis is there, then it’s also thanks to his idol, although Bucks fans are hoping he won’t go so far as to follow a similar career path to LeBron.
For now, the Freak wants to win at the Bucks, but we feel that a departure is plausible in case of disappointment. The leaders are under pressure, even if it is hard to see Giannis refusing his contract extension. Answer before December 21.
LeBron James as an idol? Failing to be innovative, Giannis Antetokounmpo hits the nail on the head. He now hopes to have a career similar to Chosen One.
