Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks were heavy favorites to win the NBA championship prior to the entire season being shut down due to the Coronavirus. Of course, Giannis is one of the best players in the entire game right now and there is a real chance that he wins MVP again. It's clear that he could sniff a championship on the horizon, however, we will never truly know until the season actually comes back, which could be as soon as July 15th.
In a recent interview, Giannis revealed that he already had big plans for a championship party. In fact, he planned on taking the whole team to Greece had they won. Of course, this type of celebration is still on the table should things go his way.
“Before all this happened with COVID-19, I was talking about taking the team on a trip to Greece in Mykonos,” Antetokounmpo said “Mykonos is one of the best islands in Greece, it’s a party island. You cannot go there with your significant other, you got to be by yourself. It’s got to be a boys’ trip. Obviously, we have Santorini, Santorini’s really romantic. It has the best sunset and sunrise in the world. You can take your significant other there. I had the opportunity to go last year – I went with (Eric) Bledsoe and Brook (Lopez) to Mykonos – and I was kind of sad I wasn’t able to bring the whole team to experience what we went through. So definitely, I think, after we win the championship and we’re holding the trophy and we’re all smoking a cigar like M.J., we can all do that in Mykonos.”
While it may be a while before the team can travel in such a manner, we're sure they will be very excited if and when they win the Chip.
