Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo gets real on desire to win more titles with Milwaukee
The Bucks star admitted that he is hungry to bring another championship to Milwaukee after doing so in 2021.
It has been a rather topsy-turvy season for the Milwaukee Bucks. They may have a 35-21 record at present, which is good for third in the Eastern Conference, but there seems to be some sort of malaise that’s been plaguing the franchise for the duration of the 2023-24 season. But for Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’s put up or shut up time despite the uncomfortable noise surrounding the team, especially as of late.
Speaking with Malika Andrews of ESPN, the Bucks star expressed his thoughts on what it would mean for him to win another title for the franchise after his triumph in 2021 and how he intends to lead his team back to those incredible heights.
“Will I be happy to win another one for Milwaukee? Damn yeah. To be able to win two the right way? Man yeah… Enough with the talk… I need to get better,” Antetokounmpo said, via ClutchPoints Twitter (X).
Nonetheless, it’s not going to be easy for the Bucks, especially with all the off-court concerns they’re facing. Head coach Doc Rivers is already throwing the franchise under the bus, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo haven’t quite meshed as envisioned, and the roster isn’t as deep as it once was.
Still, one would think that Antetokounmpo’s legacy is already secure. He has brought a championship to the Bucks, which was only their second in franchise history, and he did so as the team’s bus driver (so to speak), cementing himself as the best player on a title-winning team. But the Greek Freak admits that he still feels pressure, both internal and external, for him to win another ring.
“What do you mean there’s no pressure? […] What if I told you there was more pressure? Now I have to, my mind, my body, I want that feeling again. I want to do it again. People expect me to do it. I expect this from me,” Antetokounmpo added.
It’s not quite clear if the Bucks can put together the pieces necessary for them to win a championship in 2024. The franchise has been through so much change and transition. But Giannis Antetokounmpo’s presence guarantees that the Bucks will have a fighting chance.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
