Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most dominant players in the NBA today. He is a two-time MVP and led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA championship in 50 years in 2021. However, months ago, he took a light-humored jibe at Kevin Durant about super teams. In 2019, he said he would never join a super team and that he wanted to win a championship with the Bucks. However, he backtracked on this recently.

After the Bucks lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2022 Eastern Conference Semifinals, Giannis has been re-assessing his commitments with the Bucks. An NBA insider has called out Giannis for changing his tune despite having an All-Star roster.?
