Giannis Antetokounmpo supermax decision based on winning, not city

Giannis Antetokounmpo is yet to sign a supermax extension with Milwaukee Bucks and the deadline is the 21st of December. While the preseason is set to begin on Friday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski revealed what Antetokounmpo’s thought process is amid contract talks with the Bucks. “The challenge for the Bucks is just selling him on winning. I know this about Giannis: his decision is not about wanting to be in a big market and have all the trimmings that come with Los Angeles or New York or wherever it is. "I don’t think that’s part of his decision making. I think at his core he’s immensely loyal. I believe he loves the people in Milwaukee. Loves that community. He loves the organization. But he wants to win and that’s what he’s weighing.” Similar to most star players, some people assume that Giannis would love to play on a big-market team in the NBA. However, Wojnarowski is arguing that the Greek forward is focused on playing for a contending team, amplifying the urgency for the Bucks this season. Source- CLUTCHPOINTS
