It has been disclosed that Giannis Antetokounmpo exerted significant effort in attempting to recruit veteran point guard Reggie Jackson to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jackson, a sought-after free agent following a contract buyout with the Hornets, ultimately chose the Denver Nuggets, where he secured his first NBA championship.
Harrison Wind of DNVR reported the intense pursuit by the two-time MVP: “Giannis Antetokounmpo tried hard to recruit Jackson to the Bucks, league sources told DNVR. The two-time MVP badly wanted him in Milwaukee. Of course, Jackson opted for Denver. And the Nuggets are glad he did.”
This past offseason Jackson penned a new deal with the Nuggets.
