Despite the NBA season being on hold, Giannis Antetokounmpo already has a celebration planned if the Milwaukee Bucks win the championship.

Antetokounmpo revealed during Thursday's "Athletes Doing Good Radiothon" that he hopes to take his teammates to Mykonos, Greece, to party Michael Jordan-style one day.

"Before all this happened with COVID-19, I was talking about taking the team on a trip to Greece in Mykonos," Antetokounmpo said, according to Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Mykonos is one of the best islands in Greece, it's a party island. You cannot go there with your significant other, you got to be by yourself. It's got to be a boys' trip. Obviously, we have Santorini, Santorini's really romantic. It has the best sunset and sunrise in the world. You can take your significant other there.

"I had the opportunity to go last year - I went with (Eric) Bledsoe and Brook (Lopez) to Mykonos - and I was kind of sad I wasn't able to bring the whole team to experience what we went through. So definitely, I think, after we win the championship and we're holding the trophy and we're all smoking a cigar like MJ, we can all do that in Mykonos."

The Bucks had a league-best record of 53-12 when the NBA suspended the season in March.
