Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a contract extension at Milwaukee Bucks back in December and shut down all the talks of him leaving Bucks.
And according to the team's co-owner Marc Lasry, Jrue Holiday made a huge impact on Antetokounmpo's decision to sign the extension.
“You know, I remember the first practice and Jrue is covering Giannis. And same thing — Giannis knew Jrue by reputation. After practice that day, Jon [Bucks GM] says to me, ‘Yeah, Giannis now knows how good he is. (Holiday’s) covering him. He’s good.’ It was actually great. It was. And I think 100 percent it was a huge factor in Giannis re-signing because he saw what we were willing to do,” Lasry told
The Athletic.
