Giannis Antetokounmpo is not going anywhere. That’s the latest reports in the USA about the Milwaukee Bucks superstar. However, that still does not stop people from making their trade offers or suspicious reports about how he wants out.

These reports cited sources that they did not name. How about a quote from people directly involved? Like the Greek Freak himself?
Antetokounmpo has been silent about his offseason move ever since the Bucks exited the 2025 playoffs through a first round loss to the Indiana Pacers. The closest thing he did to addressing it was when he agreed to former teammate Patrick Beverley who said that his social media activities is his way of trolling people.
He is in Brazil right now spending his time with fans there, inaugurating a basketball dedicated to him, attending a volleyball game.

He also allowed for some interview and this is where it gets interesting for Milwaukee Bucks fans.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s quote that ends everything
Coast to Coast Brasill, a local publication, got an exclusive interview with the Greek Freak during one of his stops in the country.
The question was not about his future but the two-time MVP was gracious enough to include that part.
“Giannis, have you been watching the finals? Any guesses on who will take the title?,” the reporter asked.
Antetokounmpo answered it with class and even praised Pascal Siakam who he said is a friend.
🎙️ – “Giannis, você tem assistido as finais? Algum palpite de quem vai levar o título?”
🗣️ – “São 2 ótimos times que chegaram lá, 2 ótimos times… Indiana do meu amigo Pascal Siakam está colhendo seus frutos, e do lado de OKC simplesmente o MVP está lá.
A minha torcida está… pic.twitter.com/IXAGsQdeCz

The interviewer did not have to do a follow up to hear what everyone is curious about. His answer should settle everything.
“There are 2 great teams that got there, 2 great teams… Indiana, with my friend Pascal Siakam, is reaping the rewards, and on OKC’s side, the MVP is simply there,” he answered.
“I’m rooting for good basketball. That’s it. The Finals are different, I hope to be back soon with the Bucks.”
He will return with the Bucks and he hopes to win his second title with them. Does he need to say more?
