At just 29 years old, Antetokounmpo has accomplished a lot throughout his NBA career up to this point. He still has much more to accomplish and he will be with the Bucks organization for a while. Antetokounmpo will have his number retired in the rafters when the time comes. He already has won one NBA title and multiple MVP awards already and can still climb up that mountain.
