Giannis Antetokounmpo Leads Greece Victory, Bucks Support Amid NBA Future Questions

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to be a dominant force for the Greek national team, leading them to a 75-66 victory over Italy in their EuroBasket 2025 opener by scoring 31 points. His brother Thanasis, praised by Greek coach Vassilis Spanoulis for his hard work and recovery from injury, earned his spot on the team through dedication and strong team play. The Milwaukee Bucks showed strong support for Giannis at EuroBasket, with GM Jon Horst and coaches attending to reinforce their commitment amid speculation about his future with the team. The Bucks have made significant roster moves, including signing Myles Turner, who NBA expert Michael C. Wright believes will enhance Giannis's performance and potentially elevate him to Defensive Player of the Year contention. Despite Antetokounmpo's achievements and loyalty to Milwaukee, there remains uncertainty about his long-term future with the Bucks as he seeks a championship contender. NBA insider Zach Harper places Giannis in a tier of his own among NBA forwards, underscoring his exceptional talent and importance to both his national and NBA teams.
