As a competitor, the Greek star is convinced about potentially helping the Knicks win their first NBA title in over half a decade.
As news broke out that the Milwaukee Bucks are now fielding offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the New York Knicks instantly emerged in the conversations as one of the top candidates that could land the Greek big man.
With loaded assets and plenty of players to offer, the Knicks are definitely at the forefront of the Giannis sweepstakes. Besides, they are at their top form in terms of title contention with Jalen Brunson leading the way.
Significantly, the Knicks can't be more confident since Giannis himself sees New York as a desirable place. Beyond the personal standpoint, the NBA superstar ultimately sees a satisfying challenge for himself in the Big Apple.
"Giannis Antetokounmpo stated privately that he wanted to play in New York as recently as this past offseason. And part of the reason he wanted to come here, I was told, was that he was enticed by the idea of winning a title in New York — something the Knicks haven't done since 1973," SNY Knicks insider Ian Begley revealed.
