Giannis Antetokounmpo posted an "I'm not leaving" clip from The Wolf of Wall Street, captioning it, "Legends don’t chase, they attract," following the end of the NBA trade deadline.
The long Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga has finally come to an end, at least until the offseason.
Milwaukee Bucks / Schedule
Giannis is staying with the Milwaukee Bucks despite the highly anticipated trade, and immediately after the deadline, he took to social media to share his thoughts.
Antetokounmpo posted the famous "I'm not leaving" clip from The Wolf of Wall Street on the social media, captioning it, "Legends don’t chase. They attract," effectively shutting down all the trade rumors that had been swirling for the past few months.
According to earlier reports, Giannis still plans to play this season once he has fully recovered from his injury, aiming to help the Milwaukee Bucks make a push for the playoffs.
Greek Freak is currently dealing with a calf injury. Antetokounmpo previously missed eight games from Dec. 5-26 with a right calf strain. Strains to his left calf caused him to miss the 2024 playoffs and the 2025 All-Star Game.
Antetokounmpo has averaged 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists over 30 games this season.
ESPN's Bobby Marks reports that starting October 1, Giannis will be eligible to sign a four-year, $275 million extension with Milwaukee.
Had he been traded in the offseason, Giannis would have had to wait six months from the trade date to sign a maximum contract.
