Read why Giannis Antetokounmpo walked out of presser after ESPN reporter asked about playoff experience!
Malika Andrews of ESPN asked Giannis whether or not experience played a part in their defeat. For some reason, however, the question seemed to ticked off the Greek Freak who walked out of the presser to the surprise of teammate Khris Middleton and everyone in the room.
Andrews however, wrote the following article today that may have trigerred Giannis reaction: "This week, Antetokounmpo qualified for a five-year, $247.3 million supermax extension, the largest in NBA history, by earning All-NBA honors for the second consecutive season. He can't accept that agreement until next summer, once he has seven years of NBA experience, a timeline that clearly puts Milwaukee on the clock this summer.
Antetokounmpo has consistently made public proclamations of his love for Milwaukee, as he grew up and became acclimated to American culture in Cream City after moving from Greece. Antetokounmpo adores the Bucks medical staff. His mother moved to Milwaukee. But he is all about winning. In more concrete terms, a source close to Antetokounmpo said that getting to the NBA Finals is not just an ambition, it could tip the scales as he weighs his contractual future.
And if they can reach the NBA Finals next season, the Bucks can improve their chances of signing Antetokounmpo to the supermax in the summer of 2020."
