It reads: “Protecting children is not a gun.”
He was accompanied by messages from different colored hearts in the post title. It is not clear what caused the news.
Antetokounmpo has been caught up with trade rumors since a report that began in the offseason, saying that the NBA champion’s time with the Bucks may be about to end.
ESPN reported in May that Antetokounmpo is said to be “open-minded”, i.e. if he decides to continue his career, and his career has already run. NBA teams reportedly check-in in Milwaukee is more frequent than checking the organization’s temperature because of how close they trade.

There is no specific team name in the report, and there does not appear to be an active discussion of two transaction MVPs. However, the team and Antetokounmpo’s representatives will report talking about the future during the offseason.
The question of whether the Indiana Pacers will remain in Milwaukee once the Bucks canceled in the playoffs is imminent. After the playoff loss, he was asked if he still believed he could win a second championship.
“I won’t do that. I won’t do that,” Antetokounmpo said. “I know… whatever I say, I know how it will translate. I don’t know, man. I wish I’m still playing. I wish I’m still competing and going back to Milwaukee. I don’t know.”
