Giannis Antetokounmpo
remains undecided about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks despite roster changes
In a recent interview, while talking about Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the Milwaukee Bucks,
Shams Charania
said:
'What is the latest on his future with the Milwaukee Bucks? So Pete, I'm looking at the date. We're standing here. It's August 4th, right? Sources tell me there's still nothing set in stone about whether Antetokounmpo will stay in Milwaukee or whether he will be leaving…'
Further talking about the Greek
NBA
player, he continued:
'I reported it in mid-May that he's evaluating whether his best fit is in Milwaukee or is it elsewhere.. There's been some very real conversations over the last week or so. The constant question that Giannis has, though, is Can I win a championship with this roster? Is this roster going to be won for this upcoming year and 2026-27? He wants to win a second championship…'
Shams Charania then went on:
'There are multiple teams waiting in the wings, potentially… He has not asked that question in late June or early July before free agency. This is a very tough decision for him, though. This is 12 years he's spent there. There's a lot of equity there…'
He finally concluded:
'This type of move isn't going to be easy because this is a Milwaukee Bucks organization… They wanted to show Giannis we're doing everything in our power to keep you here. But Giannis ended as the ultimate decider whether he feels this roster is good enough…'

\Meanwhile, the interview came after the team decided to extend
Damian Lillard
's salary for the next five years, then waive him in order to free up cap space and acquire Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers. Now it is yet to see what the Greek icon decides.

Viral Video: KL Rahul's in-laws Suniel Shetty and Ahan Shetty scream, celebrate team India's victory over England
Bollywood actors Suniel Shetty and his son Ahan Shetty celebrated Team India's thrilling win over England straight from the Oval stadium in London. On Monday, the father-son duo took to their Instagram handles, and shared a joint post featuring photos and videos from the stadium, witnessing the winning moment. They wrote in the caption, '2 incredible days at The Oval! What a game and what a win! Come on India, always my India'. Both the actors went to see the match to lend their support to team India's opener KL Rahul. The cricketer is married to Suniel Shetty's daughter and Ahan's sister, Athiya Shetty. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ahan Shetty (@ Team India levelled the series against England with the final Test match, as it defeated its opponents by 6 runs. After legendary pacer Jasprit Bumrah was given a rest for the final test, Siraj took over the reins of the Indian pace attack, and clinched 4 wickets in the first innings. India batted first in the innings and scored 224 runs before they were all out. Only Karun Nair managed to score a half-century for Team India as he scored 57 runs from 109 balls. India lost early wickets in the 1st innings, and continued to struggle with the momentum. While the Indian opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul fumbled in the 1st innings, England's opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett put up an impressive performance, Zak scored 64 runs and Ben settled for 43 before they were sent to the pavilion. Harry Brook emerged as a top scorer for England with 53 runs from 64 balls in the first innings. England gained a lead of 23 runs. Team India tightened the screws for both its batting line-up and bowling attack in the 2nd innings, and Yashasvi Jaiswal , who had scored just 2 runs in the 1st innings, turned on the beast mode, as he smashed 118 runs from 164 balls in the 2nd innings. His opening partner KL Rahul, could however, only score 7 runs. This time around, team India also saw three half centuries each from Akash Deep, the Dark Knight of the Indian cricket team across formats – Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. India nullified the lead, and went on to score 396 runs in the 2nd innings. England's opening pair was met with fierce attacks by the Indian pace artillery, Zak Crawley was sent back on 14 runs, as his partner Ben Duckett scored an impressive 54 from 83 balls. Joe Root and Harry Brook stood up to the occasion with support from Harry Brook as both of them hit tons but were restricted to a narrow margin, as India won the game by 6 runs. Siraj, who missed his seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the slip cordon, emerged as the leading wicket taker for India in the final test match. The leveller game serves as a huge morale boost for the new generation Indian test team.

"I don't care" - Stephen Curry on what he really wants after earning $240 million
(Image Source: Getty Images) Stephen Curry has been famous for a long time because of his amazing basketball skills and success outside the game. But in a new interview, the Golden State Warriors star shared something different. He gave a quiet and honest answer when asked about his huge net worth. He also opened up about what matters to him—his legacy, his values, and the life he shares with his wife, Ayesha Curry . Stephen Curry quietly addresses net worth rumor with a rare insight on legacy Stephen Curry, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, provided a quiet and honest interview on August 1. He was a guest of 360 with Speedy, a talk show organized by Speedy Morman and made by Complex. Stephen Curry is 36 years old now and has played his entire NBA career with the Golden State Warriors. During the talk, Speedy asked him, 'Your net worth is $240 million. Is that true?' Curry smiled and replied, 'I don't know. I don't care. I don't worry about that stuff. Someone else handles that for me.' His answer was simple but meaningful. Even though Curry signed a huge $62.6 million one-year deal in August 2024, he made it clear - money isn't his main goal. He said he's more focused on building something meaningful, not just chasing more money. Stephen Curry shares honest thoughts on legacy, family, and faith in 2025 Later in the interview, Stephen Curry talked about Legacy. The interview took place in California, just a few weeks after the Golden State Warriors lost in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. They had beaten the Houston Rockets but lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although the season is over, Curry's strong performance received praise. He didn't talk much about wins or losses. Instead, he spoke from the heart. He said, 'Legacy is self-serving. You want to be proud of what you did. We've been given so much, and we want to use it well.' For Stephen, it's not just about fame or money. He wants to use what he has for good. Even with all the wealth talk, he kept the focus on faith, family, and leaving something meaningful behind.
