Giannis has funny response to signing extension
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports

Giannis Antetokounmpo has signed a long-term extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, securing his financial future in the process.

Antetokounmpo spoke to the Milwaukee media on Wednesday after officially agreeing to a max deal with the Bucks. He discussed the importance of securing financial comfort for his children and grandchildren, and how important that was to him. But he was in a joking mood as he pivoted from a serious answer to, well, this.

“I hope my grandkids build a statue for me. I hope they build that s—,” Antetokounmpo said, via Kane Pitman of Locked On Bucks.

They might as well do just that. One thing is for sure: as long as everyone manages their money properly, his grandkids will certainly be able to afford it.
