It looks like wait is over as Giannis Antetokounmpo signs the five-year supermax extension that the Milwaukee Bucks offered the two-time MVP.
This is my home, this is my city.. I’m blessed to be able to be a part of the Milwaukee Bucks for the next 5 years. Let’s make these years count. The show goes on, let’s get it. 🤎🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/895tCBE9RK

Antetokounmpo sign the extension a week before the Dec. 21 deadline and basically removing this name off the free agents market next summer. The five-year, $228.2 million extension Antetoknoumpo signed will make him the highest-paid player in NBA history.
Five biggest contracts in NBA history
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (2020) $228.2M
2. Russell Westbrook (2017) $206.8M
3. Steph Curry (2017) $201.2M
4. Klay Thompson (2019) $189.9M
5. Anthony Davis (2020) $189.9M— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) December 15, 2020
We may still Giannis Antetokounmpo in another uniform, since he will just be 31 years old by the time the 5-year extension ends and still in his prime.
