The contract, called a ‘super max’ for the amount of money Giannis will receive after having achieved individual merits such as being a two-time MVP, will have a player exit clause in the fourth year, at the end of the 24/25 season.

Antetokounmpo had until next Monday to sign the supermax contract offer with the Bucks . If he turned her down, he would have become a free agent at the end of the season.The previous largest contract was signed by Russell Westbrook in 2018 with Oklahoma City, for 5 years and $ 206,794,070, although on an annual average, Paul George’s renewal with the Clippers last week surpassed him , with 44.1 million annually, the same as the Damian Lillard’s renewal with Portland.His decision means the Bucks will keep their top star since Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , who led Milwaukee to the title in 1971 but demanded a trade and was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1975.
