Stephen Curry is the main reason Giannis Antetokounmpo could consider joining the Golden State Warriors, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

The Milwaukee Bucks can offer Antetokounmpo the supermax extension during the offseason. However, if the “Greek Freak” does not sign it, then he will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2021.

“If Giannis hits the market next summer, he will be 26. Curry — a friendly acquaintance, considered by those in the know as the dominant reason Giannis’ eyes would even tilt in the Warriors’ direction — will be 33.

Thompson, currently in the late stages of his ACL rehab, and Green, showing early signs of a physical decline, will both be 31,” Slater reports.

Antetokounmpo has been reportedly linked with a move to the Warriors over the past few months.
