You can be sure that Milwaukee Bucks fans everywhere were hyped to hear about Giannis Anteotkounmpo’s decision to extend his tenure with the team. This came in the form of a $186 million, three-year extension which now puts an end to all the uncertainty surrounding Giannis’ future with the organization.
Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘Is Here to Stay’
Now that it’s official, the Bucks decided to post an epic hype video that contained clips of Antetokounmpo’s first press interview after his extension.
“I knew in my heart that I wanted to stay,” Giannis said. “I’m committed. I’m here. I’m very loyal. Our focus is going to be strictly basketball. … I want to win another championship.”

You have to note the choice of highlights from the Bucks’ social media team. Instead of using clips of Giannis during games or perhaps celebrating their 2021 championship, they opted to use a video of Antetokounmpo putting in work behind the scenes.
Everyone knows that it’s going to be a tough season ahead for the Bucks and their title hopes, and the message here is that the entire team will need to put in the work to give themselves a shot at the championship. It all starts with Giannis Antetkounmpo.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans React
Naturally, Milwaukee supporters were hyped to see the video on Twitter. Some of them could barely contain their emotions:

You can’t really blame the fans for daydreaming about the title at this point.
