"Giannis Antetokounmpo ripped apart the New York Knicks on the court, then brushed them aside at the podium after his Milwaukee Bucks' 121-111 victory on Tuesday night. Following his 37-point, eight-rebound, and seven-assist monster effort against New York, the two-time MVP was asked about an ESPN report earlier this month, revealing that the only place he wanted to be traded to was the Knicks should his dissatisfaction with Milwaukee's direction continue to grow."
"Who said that? Antetokounmpo asked. I don't read that. I don't remember that. Right now, I'm here, representing my team, and that's it. We beat the Knicks. [Trade rumors] don't really matter I didn't read that article. Try to stay away from all that rumors, speculation, and trades, and all this. It doesn't concern me one bit. The 30-year-old big man has been nothing short of brilliant to start the season."
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points with eight rebounds and seven assists in the Bucks' 121-111 win over the Knicks. He publicly denied reading or remembering an ESPN report that claimed the Knicks were the only place he would seek a trade and dismissed trade rumors as irrelevant. The 30-year-old is averaging 36.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and seven assists while the Bucks are 3-1. Antetokounmpo won an NBA title in 2021 and admitted to considering leaving Milwaukee after three straight first-round playoff eliminations. Multiple teams, including the Knicks, would like a chance to acquire him. Karl-Anthony Towns' defensive play became a significant liability down the stretch and in the playoffs, and his offensive performance also raised concerns.
