Giannis Antetokounmpo: Free agency talk 'disrespectful' to Bucks teammates

MILWAUKEE -- It didn't take long for Giannis Antetokounmpo to address the elephant in the interview room at Fiserv Forum.

"I'm not gonna talk about it a lot this season and I'm not going to try to address it," said Antetokounmpo, the NBA's reigning MVP.

Antetokounmpo, 24, is eligible to sign a five-year, $253.75 million super max extension in the summer of 2020 with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, which would be the largest in NBA history.

This would apply even if Antetokounmpo fails to earn All-NBA honors this season, but his focus remains on team goals.
