Giannis Antetokounmpo says Hakeem Olajuwon did not charge him ₦40 million for workout
Earlier in the offseason, Giannis Antetokounmpo garnered attention for his partnership with NBA star Hakeem Olajuwon.
Wojnarowski reports that Antetokounmpo has a player option for the 2027–28 campaign as the Nigerian freak celebrated the extension on social media.
His previous contract had a $51.9 million player option for the 2025–2026 season and ran through the 2024–2025 season.

But after the top-seeded Bucks' unexpected first-round loss to the Miami Heat in the 2023 playoffs, his long-term future with the team came under scrutiny.
Notably, Milwaukee signed Middleton and Lopez to extended contracts this off-season.
The most significant change may have occurred when Antetokounmpo stated on the 48 Minutes podcast in September 2023 that if there is a better situation for me to win the Larry O'Brien I have to take that better situation.
)
Shortly after those remarks, the Bucks acquired seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard, which abruptly altered the equation.
Like Antetokounmpo, Lillard is a top player in his generation and a member of the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team.
)
The renewal of Antetokounmpo is good news for the Bucks because he is quickly rising to the status of one of the greatest players in NBA history.
He won a championship, was named to the All-NBA and All-Star team seven times, was selected to the All-Defensive team five times, was named an NBA Finals MVP, and won Defensive Player of the Year.
Antetokounmpo who visited Nigeria this off-season shot 55.3 percent from the field in 2022–23 and averaged a career-high 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game.
