Giannis Antetokounmpo, a prominent player in the NBA, has played for the Milwaukee Bucks for his entire nine-year NBA career, but it sounds like the former MVP and NBA Champion would consider playing for another team - specifically one.
The Chicago Bucks player revealed on "The Sports Zone" on FOX 32 Chicago that he would be open to joining the Chicago Bulls in the future, citing both the team's illustrious history and Michael Jordan's legacy as reasons for this.
“I think anyone asked that question who plays basketball, if he said no, he’d be a liar,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s a team that won multiple championships, a team with one of the greatest players, if not the greatest player to ever play this game.”

Antetokounmpo went on to say that while he remains committed to Milwaukee, he would “love to play” for the Bulls if the opportunity ever presents itself, calling the decision to play for the Bulls a “no-brainer.”
“It’s a no-brainer, everybody would love to play for Chicago,” Antetokounmpo said. “Down the line, you never know. You never know how life brings it. Maybe I play for Chicago. But right now, I’m committed to Milwaukee.”
Despite the recent comments, Antetokounmpo did sign a five-year, $228 million contract extension with the Bucks before the start of the 2021-22 season. So if he were to join Chicago down the line, it likely would not be for several years.
