Current National Basketball Association (NBA) Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo has signed a five-year contract extension to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks, the 26-year-old said Tuesday.
“This is my home, this is my city,” Antetokounmpo wrote on Twitter. “I am lucky to be able to be a part of the Milwaukee Bucks for the next 5 years. Let’s make these years count. The show goes on, let’s do it. “
The “supermax” deal is worth $ 228 million, ESPN reported, and will take effect after the 2020-2021 season, which begins on December 22.
The four-time All-Star, who also claimed MVP honors in 2019, was born in Athens and his enormous talent earned him the nickname “the Greek monster.”
He averaged 29.5 points per game in the 2019-2020 regular season and led the Bucks to the conference semifinals, where they were defeated by the Miami Heat in five games.
