Giannis wants to finish career in Greece after NBA
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo would like to finish his basketball career in Greece once he's done playing in the NBA.
"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," according to a translation via ESPN. "I don't want to live in the United States. As soon as I leave the NBA, I want to return to Greece.
"I could end my career here, whether this team is called Filathlitikos, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, or Aris, I'm talking about all the teams now."
Antetokounmpo, who was born in Athens, Greece, is set to play in his 13th NBA season after joining the league as a 19-year-old in 2013-14.
The two-time MVP started his professional career with Filathlitikos, playing two seasons before entering the NBA draft.
