Giannis Antetokounmpo is struggling with the Milwaukee Bucks right now. The Bucks stand 11th in the Eastern Conference. Although Giannis is still averaging 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists, it hasn’t been enough to propel the Bucks to a respectable spot. 2021 NBA champs are in bad form and things seem to be getting worse.
There are Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors circulating ever since the start of the season. Those rumors have only gotten stronger and now there is a lot of substance to that.

Brian Windhorst reported that Giannis had demanded a trade from the Bucks even before the season started.
“It reportedly “appeared” that Giannis committed himself to the Bucks for the season “in everything he said and his mood”, but had asked for a trade before the season,” Windhorst reported.
Giannis also made waves among fans and on the internet with his wild claim about LeBron James most valued record. LeBron holds the NBA’s all-time regular season record for most points. Currently he has 42,260 points.
Giannis claims that by the time is his 35, which will be in about 5 years time, he will break LeBron’s record. Giannis currently has 21,002 career points which is less than half of what LeBron has. Even if LeBron does not score any point going forward which is almost impossible, Giannis will have to do the impossible to back his claim.
He’d have to play all 82 games for the next five years and average 53.6 points every game to become the highest scorer in the history of the NBA.

Fans voiced their opinion about how Bucks might have to let Giannis find the right team for himself.
“Yeah he’s gone,” one fan claimed.
“Bucks have to let him go..He gave everything to them,.He deserves another real chance to win a ring,” another fan said.
“Giannis has been “reportedly leaving” for 4 seasons now. Give it up,” another commented.
“That’s why when they signed his whole family to the team I knew they were trying to appease him. Thanasis cashing million dollar checks just off the strength of keeping Giannis happy…damn,” one fan explained.
“Could’ve had Curry X Giannis X Butler,” another said.
