The ‘Greek Freak’ refusing to workout with LeBron is not a sign of disrespect on his part, it’s just the way he does things. He has time and again reiterated the fact that LeBron James is the ‘best player in the world’.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and his plan for the Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo recently signed a massive extension deal with the Bucks. He is set to be in Milwaukee till the 2024-25 season, and has a player option for the last year of his contract. During his next 5 years in Milwaukee, Giannis hopes to win the NBA championship.
The Bucks had a very tragic end to their season the last time around. Antetokounmpo hopes this time things would be different. The Bucks have made quite a few changes in their roster this season, and would look to improve on their performance.
Giannis begins his 8th season in the NBA tonight, as the Bucks take on the Celtics at the TD Garden.
