Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to win another NBA championship at all costs, and he is willing to leave his current team if that's what it takes.
In an appearance in the 48 Minutes podcast this week, the 2021 NBA Finals MVP said he is a Milwaukee Buck, but most importantly, a winner.
"I'm a Milwaukee Buck, but most importantly I'm a winner. ... If there is a better situation for me to win the Larry O'Brien I have to take that better situation."

"I have to do whatever it takes for me to win. And if there's a better situation for me to win the Larry O'Brien, I have to take that better situation," the 28-year-old said.
The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player has three full seasons left in his current Bucks contract, with the last one being a player option. He is set to make $45.6 million for 2023-24.

Giannis Antetokounmpo put pressure on Bucks front office again
This is the second time Antetokounmpo has put pressure on the Bucks front office to build a roster that could win the NBA championship.
In an interview with the New York Times last month, the seven-time NBA All-Star said that his signing another contract extension in Milwaukee is not guaranteed, and it is predicated on the Bucks being a championship-contending team.
"At the end of the day, being a winner, it's over that goal. Winning a championship comes first. I don't want to be 20 years on the same team and don't win another championship," the 2020 NBA Defensive Player of the Year said.
