Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo to become $100 million man

Milwaukee Bucks swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo- also known as the Greek Freak- has agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension that will be signed today.

The Milwaukee Bucks have reached an agreement with Giannis Antetokounmpo on a contract extension, General Manager John Hammond has announced. The contract will be finalised today at a press conference to be held at the recently-launched Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center (WESC) Preview Center.

 The Bucks was drafted Antetokounmpo when he was just 18 years old, but he’s grown into one of the league’s most versatile players in his first three seasons. He began his career as a small forward but became a 6-foot-11 point guard late last season, and Bucks coach Jason Kidd has said he’ll continue to play at that spot in 2016-17.

According to ESPN, Antetokounmpo’s extension is for less than the league maximum and there are no team or player options included.
