'Disrespectful,' Giannis Responds to Question About Wanting Trade amid Bucks Rumors

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo made it clear that he's tired of fielding questions about the trade rumors surrounding him.

After Milwaukee's 112-103 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, Antetokounmpo was asked about whether he wants to remain with the Bucks if they can't contend for an NBA championship, and he had a fiery response.

"I'm here. I'm here. I'm here," he said at the 5:15 mark (h/t Sam Amick of The Athletic). "Don't ask me that question. I'm here. It's disrespectful towards myself and my teammates. I wear that jersey every single day. It's disrespectful towards the organization, my coaching staff, myself and all the people that work hard for me to come out here and say I don't want to be here. Don't ask me that question."

Playing for the first time since Dec. 3 following his recovery from a calf strain, Antetokounmpo showed that he hasn't missed a step, dropping 29 points and eight rebounds in the win.

The two-time NBA MVP also caused some late tension between the two teams when he rocked the rim with a windmill dunk in the closing seconds, leading to a brief skirmish.

Antetokounmpo went on to reaffirm his commitment to the Bucks, and he wanted his late dunk to be a message that he will continue to give his all to the only franchise he's ever known.

"I'm here, I'm putting on the jersey, and as long as I'm here, I'm gonna give everything I have, even in the last second of the game," he said.
