Amid Bucks Exit Rumors, NFL Legend Accuses Giannis Antetokounmpo of Nepotism

The talent of Giannis Antetokounmpo has never been in question. However, the Greek Freek has been under intense scrutiny. In the wake of last season’s disastrous playoff run, particularly after the Bucks fired, head coach Mike Budenholzer. NBA analysts criticized Giannis for his inability to defeat a seventh-seeded squad. Despite being the Eastern Conference leaders. Many question the Bucks’ starting lineup itself in light of their lopsided defeat.

Meanwhile, Giannis has also expressed his urgency to win. Which started the rumor of exit from the Bucks in the first place. Recently NFL legend called into question the validity of the Former MVP’s remarks about winning. While also commenting about his future in the Bucks.

NFL Legend Slams Giannis Antetokounmpo for Nepotism

Shannon Sharpe has a history of speaking out vehemently. Whether it be with Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith right now. The former Super Bowl champ is less prone to back down from his opinions. Recently on First Take, Sharpe candidly spoke about the Bucks frontman and he didn’t mince words. Amid exit rumors from the Greek Freak and his implicit desire to win at any cost. The former NFL MVP notes that given that his own brothers occupy two spots in the Bucks lineup, Giannis’ desire to surround himself with “talent” may be a little hypocritical.

He says, “You got your brothers occupying two roster spots,” Sharpe said. “You know good and well Giannis, your brothers probably not going to be playing for any other team in the NBA except Milwaukee and that’s only because of you”. He further added, “So you keep talking surrounding you with talent. There’s two spots that’s being occupied by your brothers.”? This leaves us wondering whether the scathing remarks actually hold some ground. Whereas, it is true that if Mike Budenholzer was let go because he failed to deliver, there should be repercussions for each individual.
