Breaking: Done Deal! Giannis Antetokounmpo Signs Five-Year, $320 Million Supermax Extension
Milwaukee Bucks fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has officially signed a five-year, $320 million supermax extension, solidifying his commitment to the team that drafted him in 2013. The deal, which includes a no-trade clause, makes him one of the highest-paid players in NBA history and underscores Milwaukee’s determination to remain a championship contender.
The announcement was made earlier today in a press conference at Fiserv Forum, with Giannis flanked by Bucks’ management and his family. “Milwaukee has always been my home,” said Antetokounmpo, visibly emotional. “This city believed in me when no one else did. I’m here to win more championships and make this community proud.”
The extension is a reward for Antetokounmpo’s extraordinary achievements, which include two MVP awards, a Finals MVP, and leading the Bucks to their first NBA title in 50 years in 2021. Known for his dominance on both ends of the court, Giannis has consistently elevated his game and shown unshakable loyalty to Milwaukee despite lucrative opportunities elsewhere.
Bucks General Manager Jon Horst expressed his excitement, calling the deal “a pivotal moment for our franchise.” He added, “Giannis is not just the cornerstone of our team but also a role model for our community. This extension ensures we’ll continue to build around him and compete at the highest level.”
The new contract, which begins in the 2025-26 season, gives the Bucks financial stability but also puts pressure on the front office to maintain a championship-caliber roster. With Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and new acquisition Damian Lillard in the mix, Milwaukee appears poised for a sustained title run.
For Bucks fans, this extension is more than a contract—it’s a promise that the “Greek Freak” is here to stay.
