Amid incessant trade rumors about the Milwaukee Bucks’ franchise player, the Greek Freak made his intentions crystal clear at Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. He’s not interested in playing for another team.
“Legends don’t chase. They attract,” Giannis posted on X.
To further emphasize his stance, he included a memorable clip from The Wolf of Wall Street. This underscored his commitment to the Bucks and effectively put to rest any speculation about his future.

Just last week, various sources speculated that the Bucks were ready to move him. This week, reports surfaced that a trade was never a serious consideration. This is the typical landscape leading up to the NBA deadline. Yet through all this, Giannis maintained his calm demeanor, staying engaged with his fans online.
Currently, the Bucks are struggling, sitting at 20-29, which places them outside the East’s top 10. If Milwaukee decides to make significant changes, it seems more likely they will consider this in the offseason. However, Antetokounmpo appears not to be chasing anything — except perhaps evidence that the Bucks are still a viable gamble for the future.
One thing is clear: he’s not the one backing down.
