2-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo recently shook the NBA world. He revealed that he is having doubts regarding his contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis will be eligible for a 3-year $173 million extension with the Bucks in September. If he decides to do so, he will remain a part of the Milwaukee Bucks at least for the next five years.
The Greek Freak, however, expressed his concerns regarding his contract extension eligibility. Giannis’ shocking revelation has left Stephen Curry fans fantasizing about a dream scenario in Golden State.

Giannis is on a 5-year $228 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, which he signed in 2020. With two years left on his contract, Giannis has a chance to re-sign with the team for another three years next month.
In an interview with the New York Times, Giannis addressed his contract extension and dropped a bomb on the Milwaukee Bucks. He hinted at the possibility of not re-signing with the Bucks if they do not have the same goal in mind, which is winning another championship.
After spending 10 years in Milwaukee, the 7-time All-Star does not want to be part of a rebuilding process. Giannis led the Bucks to their first NBA championship in 50 years when he beat the Phoenix Suns in 2021.
“I think it’s the best feeling that I’ve felt so far in basketball,” said the 2-time MVP about his first NBA title win. Giannis made it clear that he does not want to spend 20 years on the same team and not win another championship.
Stephen Curry fans were quick to react to Giannis’ comments and started cooking up a dream scenario.
Giannis’ shocking revelation left Stephen Curry fans wondering
Fans started brewing speculations about Giannis possibly joining forces with the 4-time champion Stephen Curry to form one of the greatest duos in the game. With Stephen Curry’s unlimited shooting range and Giannis’ freakish athleticism, it is doubtful that any team will be able to stop them from winning multiple championships.
Stephen Curry fans went as far as to say, “We running it like Magic and Kareem.”

Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were one of the most dominant duos in the ’80s and won 5 NBA titles together. With Kareem being the all-time scoring leader at the time and Magic the greatest Point Guard ever, they wreaked havoc on the league when they joined forces. The duo reached 8 NBA Finals in 10 seasons.
This would be more deadly than when kd was there

Just days after Curry called himself the greatest Point Guard over Magic, fans cannot help but compare the possible Giannis-Steph duo to Magic and Kareem.
Although this dream scenario looks a little far-fetched, there is always a possibility of it happening in this era of Super Teams. Giannis can choose to be an unrestricted free agent after the 2024-25 season. If the Greek Freak and Chef Curry join forces in Golden State, the other 29 teams will have no answer for this unstoppable duo.
