Giannis Antetokounmpo

ESPN Cleveland: Brian Windhorst: The Bucks called the Knicks and asked for an offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo, because Giannis said, 'I want to be a Knick.' .... Guys, Giannis has asked to be traded already. It appears Giannis committed to himself for the season to the Bucks. But the Bucks are not good. This year, when Giannis hasn't played, the Bucks are 1-5. When he has played, they're 9-8. Would his viewpoint change? I don't know.

More on Giannis Antetokounmpo

NBA stars (defined by the league as players who made an All-Star Game or an All-NBA team in the previous three seasons), entering play Monday, had missed 74 percent of games this season. Just more than a month into the regular season, stars such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Darius Garland, Ja Morant, Jalen Williams and Zion Williamson have missed significant time. Meanwhile, Haliburton, Jayson Tatum, Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard have yet to suit up this season because of injury. “I would bet this year, it’s probably a combination of a little bit of a fluke, but also teams just being more cautious with their stars,” said Dr. Brian Schulz, an orthopedic surgeon who works with the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL.

Beauchamp is too young and, arguably, too talented for that to be his fate. He is weighing European offers while waiting/hoping an NBA team calls. It’s neither likely, nor impossible, that Beauchamp is available for the next qualifying window, when the U.S. plays two games just north of San Diego against the Dominican Republic and Mexico on the border of February and March. If he should happen to suit up again for the Americans, Beauchamp would continue to exhibit the advice pressed upon him for most of his NBA career to date by a player you may have heard of, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was Beauchamp’s teammate in Milwaukee until the Bucks traded him last February to the Clippers for Kevin Porter Jr. Beauchamp said Giannis “is a big brother to me,” and “he’s the one who told me to be assertive, be aggressive, and every time I get on the floor, I gotta go make something happen.” New York Times | Dec. 2, 2025

Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo appears to have deleted most of his past posts on X and Instagram on Tuesday, one day after the Bucks lost to the Washington Wizards, who own the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

It underscored the gap between these teams, a seasoned squad led by a star and the tanking Nets playing without Michael Porter Jr., Cam Thomas and Egor Dëmin while relying on rookie Danny Wolf. “Giannis is one of the best players in the world, if not the best. It’s an opportunity to prove yourself offensively, defensively,” said Wolf, who had a team-high 22 points on 5-for-9 shooting from deep with four assists and four rebounds, all off the bench. “When you’re playing a talent like Giannis, you’ve got to learn on the fly and you’ve got to pick things up pretty quickly and try to take on the challenge head-on, whether I was guarding him or he was guarding me.” New York Post | Nov. 30, 2025

Scoring 21,000 career points and having the tribute video on the screen. Just what do those moments mean to you? Giannis Antetokounmpo: “I think when I was younger and a couple years ago, I'm like, "Yeah, you know, it's another day at the office. Let me just do my job, go back home." As you’re getting older, you start appreciating those moments. You don't take it for granted. Coach came in and he told me that there's only like 11 or 12 players who ever scored 21,000 points with one team. And through the history of the game, and you're like ‘wow’. Being a a kid from Greece from Sepolia where I grew up in a small neighborhood, not a lot of let's say great things happen there or come out of there to be able to be in the stage and 13 years later to score 21,000 points I'm very appreciative. I've had great support system by myself, my family, God by my side that they've guide me through my whole journey and happy. I have a lot of things a lot of chapters that I want to keep on like closing moving forward so I just got to stay locked in job is not done.“ YouTube | Nov. 30, 2025
