Nearly seven years ago to the day, the face of the franchise tweeted, “I’ll never leave the team and the city of Milwaukee till we build the team to a championship level team..”
At the moment, the tweet has nearly 26,000 RTs and more than 50,000 likes.

Giannis is just a special kind of person, and it’s awesome to see people like him win in life. He’s so incredibly easy to cheer for.
A little more than seven years ago, he promised not to leave Milwaukee until the squad was a championship caliber unit.
Now, he’s sitting at the top of the NBA. It’s been one hell of a journey.

Giannis put in the work, didn’t flee to a super team, the franchise built a squad around him and they’re now NBA champions.
If you don’t respect the hell out of what he’s accomplished, then you can’t claim to be a fan of sports.
