Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals when he'd retire basketball and the NBA

Giannis Antetokounmpo has revealed that he'd retire if his son insisted, while talking to longtime Milwaukee Bucks announcer Jim Paschke. Jim is an important figure to the Bucks organization for so many reasons. The 70-YO iconic sportscaster spent 50% of his entire living years with the Bucks. After taking 13 years of the initial experience, Mr. Jim joined the Bucks organization and called 2000+ games for the team. The play-by-play man had a decorated career as a broadcaster, and now he has decided to call it quits. In a virtual conversation with Giannis, Sir Jim expressed the reason behind the decision and said, “I never intended to work my whole life, I hope you understand. I’ll tell you a story, you’ll appreciate this as a father. When my son, he grew up with this business. He was born two years after I had started with the Bucks. After every Bucks, I would ask him if he wanted me to retire and be home more. He always said no… Last summer, just before his wedding, he asked me to retire. That hit home with me and I said yes I will.” And the Greek Freak being a very loyal franchise name, felt seemingly emotional about the whole retirement thing. So, he went on to reveal something rather personal too. “If my son asked me, told me, dad when are you going to retire from basketball and play more with me? I’ll probably retire right now," said Antetokounmpo.
