Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed in an ESPN interview that he signed his supermax extension as a way to not waste a year of his prime.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s decision to sign his supermax extension last month certainly dispelled any semblance of uncertainty this Milwaukee Bucks season.

Now as the Bucks stand at 5-3 two weeks into the 2020-21 season and winners of their last three games, Milwaukee has the ability to foster their new-look roster following a busy offseason.
