In a rather stunning and nearly out of nowhere move, it's being reported that Giannis Antetokounmpo is inking an extension with the Milwaukee Bucks.
This news was first relayed to the masses on the mean streets of Twitter.
Breaking: Giannis Antetokounmpo says he is signing a contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks. The two-time MVP will sign a five-year, $228.2 million supermax extension with the franchise, the largest deal in NBA history, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Inks 5-year, massive deal with Bucks
For many, this ends speculation as to what is happening next with the two-time MVP. Given the dollar amount and years, it appears that Giannis is going to stick around with the franchise that drafted him for the long haul.
As for those we were somehow — through magic, I presume — unaware, offseason speculation had Giannis going to nearly every NBA franchise outside of the one residing in Milwaukee. Given the information Shams dropped above, the speculation can now spot, as we have a clear winner in the great Greek Freak sweepstakes of 2020… and 2021, 2022, etc.

Given the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo is a once in a generation superstar, this is an absolute monster move for the Bucks. A franchise that, while solid, would be hard pressed to find another Giannis down the line. After all, there are few of him in the history of the NBA.
