Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has revealed he hopes to finish his basketball career in his native Greece after his NBA tenure ends.
“I’m 30 years old, I can play in the NBA until I’m 36–38. I’d like to end my career in a Greek team, why not?” Antetokounmpo said on ANT1’s The 2Night Show.
“I don’t want to live in the United States. As soon as I leave the NBA, I want to return to Greece.”
He added that he could see himself playing for any Greek club, “whether this team is called Filathlitikos, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, or Aris.”
The two-time MVP reaffirmed his commitment to the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this offseason and remains under contract through 2026–27, his 14th NBA season.
A nine-time All-Star and 2021 Finals MVP, Antetokounmpo began his professional career with Filathlitikos in Greece before being drafted 15th overall by the Bucks in 2013.
In a related move, ESPN reported the Bucks will sign his younger brother Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, joining Giannis and Thanasis on the roster, marking the first time in NBA history that three brothers will play on the same team.
