Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis is standing by his teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo, dismissing rumors about the star player’s potential departure from the team. Despite speculation surrounding Giannis’s future after another early playoff exit, Portis believes that Giannis is committed to the Bucks and wants to build a legacy with the team.
“Giannis bleeds green,” Portis said, expressing his confidence in his teammate’s loyalty. “He wants that Tim Duncan, Kobe, Steph-type career where they play with one franchise.” Portis’s assessment is based on his understanding of Giannis’s character, describing him as a loyal, grounded, and focused individual.
Although Portis hasn’t spoken to Giannis directly since the playoff loss, he trusts that his teammate’s values and goals align with staying in Milwaukee. According to Portis, Giannis is driven to build a timeless legacy with the Bucks, rather than chasing championships elsewhere.
Portis’s comments offer a unique perspective on Giannis’s future, suggesting that the star player is committed to the team and its vision. As the Bucks look to regroup and rebuild for the upcoming season, Giannis’s loyalty and dedication will undoubtedly be crucial to the team’s success.
