Antetokounmpo is one of only two players in NBA history to win both the MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year award by age 25.
Giannis Antetokounmpo confirmed on Twitter Tuesday he has agreed to sign a five-year supermax extension worth $228.2 million with the Milwaukee Bucks, which is the richest contract in the history of the National Basketball Association. “This is my home, this is my city,” Antetokounmpo tweeted. “I’m blessed to be able to be a part of the Milwaukee Bucks for the next 5 years. Let’s make these years count. The show goes on, let’s get it.” Only two players in NBA history won both the MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year award by age 25: Michael Jordan and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo was born in Athens, Greece, to Nigerian immigrants.
