Giannis Antetokounmpo said he does not plan to sign a contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks when he becomes eligible next month and that he won't sign one until he's comfortable knowing the organization will continue to compete for a championship.
In an interview with The New York Times published Thursday, the two-time MVP said "numbers-wise it doesn't make sense," adding that the organization still has something to prove before he potentially signs an extension next summer.
"Next summer it would make more sense for both parties. Even then, I don't know," Antetokounmpo said in the interview. "I would not be the best version of myself if I don't know that everybody's on the same page, everybody's going for a championship, everybody's going to sacrifice time away from their family like I do. And if I don't feel that, I'm not signing."
"At the end of the day, being a winner, it's over that goal," Antetokounmpo told The Times. "Winning a championship comes first. I don't want to be 20 years on the same team and don't win another championship."
