Quadruple champion of the USSR as part of CSKA commentator Vladimir Gomelsky believes that the NBA club Milwaukee Bucks was ready to offer a larger sum to extend the contract with Giannis Antetokounmpo .
Journalist Shams Charania reported that Milwaukee reached a new three-year deal with the Greek basketball player worth $186 million.
— The extension of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s contract with the Milwaukee Bucks is for me an example of a normal, human and trusting relationship between a star player and the club. Even though the extension was signed just hours before the deadline, which was noon Monday Eastern Time.
There was no scandal, there were no mutual threats. Antetokounmpo signed a three-year contract worth $186 million. I think if it weren’t for NBA rules, and $62 million per year is now the maximum allowed by NBA rules for Antetokounmpo, then Milwaukee was willing to pay a larger amount. And the second condition set by Antetokounmpo was the signing of another star player.
Look, in addition to the NBA title, Giannis also has a great collection of individual titles: he is a two-time regular season MVP, he is a Finals MVP, and he is the best defensive player in one of his seasons. And besides him, only two other great players have such a collection: Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon. It’s a great company,” Gomelsky said, as quoted by Championship.
During the last regular season, the 28-year-old basketball player participated in 63 regular season games, averaging 31.1 points.
