Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to be with Bucks 'forever'

Giannis Antetokounmpo is promising "more buckets," and he's hoping to bring them to the Milwaukee Bucks for a long, long time.

Blogging for Eurohoops on Friday, Antetokounmpo looked ahead at what his career could look like a few years from now. While he doesn't have everything figured out - he's a terrible painter, for example - he knows where he sees his NBA future.

Here's Antetokounmpo:

The Bucks and John Hammond chose me in the draft, got me in the NBA, kept me in the team with a role from my very first season and they are my basketball family. Not only that, but already at this young age, they have enough faith in me as a leader and they are doing everything in order to develop all of my potential. From my side, I feel that I want to be playing in the Bucks. I'm not talking about my next contract. The way I feel now, I want to keep playing for the Milwaukee Bucks for the next 20 years!

You never know how life turns out. Three years ago I was thinking that I might be playing for Filathlitikos forever! All of a sudden, the draft emerged, the NBA, the Bucks and everything that followed. I don't know how I'll be feeling and thinking in 2, 3 or more years. Right now I feel like I want to play for the Milwaukee Bucks forever.

Antetokounmpo did allow for the possibility of LeBron James trying to recruit him away, saying that he'd think about it but that the Bucks "would come first."

None of this really means anything. Antetokounmpo is a 20-year-old on a rookie-scale contract who can't become an unrestricted free agent until 2018 at the earliest (far later in the most likely scenario). While he probably means it right now, things can change over the course of years - all this really says is that Antetokounmpo is happy right now.

The Greek Freak had a breakout sophomore season in 2014-15, taking strides in both volume and efficiency.

If he keeps developing at this rate and becomes the game changer many believe he can be, a long-term future in Milwaukee could allow him to carve out a role as one of the all-time great Bucks - a somewhat thin group.
