The city of Milwaukee finally had a huge sigh of relief on Tuesday after Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a five-year contract extension with the Bucks. Antetokounmpo's agent, Alex Saratsis, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that the contract is worth a whopping $228.2 million, including an opt-out after the fourth year. 

After the Bucks were knocked out of the 2020 NBA Playoffs by the Miami Heat, reports suggested that Antetokounmpo might consider leaving for another franchise. More so, had the reigning two-time MVP not signed an extension with the Bucks, Antetokounmpo would've entered next summer as an unrestricted free agent. However, those fears have now been put to rest for the time being. 

Antetokounmpo took to social media to post an uplifting message for the Bucks only hours after his extension. He wrote, "This is my home, this is my city, I'm blessed to be able to be a part of the Milwaukee Bucks for the next 5 years. Let's make these years count. The show goes on, let's get it."
