Unbothered Giannis Antetokounmpo parties in Greece with Bucks future unclear
The former two-time league MVP, currently at the center of offseason trade rumors, was filmed dancing on a boat in his native Greece in a TikTok video posted Sunday.
'Meanwhile in Greece,' Antetokounmpo captioned the post, adding a blue heart emoji.
The 30-year-old forward, sporting white swim shorts with stripes, was holding a beverage and his phone in the clip.
Fans took to the comments to give their opinions on where he should take his talents next, including the Heat, Warriors and Lakers.
On Monday, Antetokounmpo unveiled his seventh signature basketball shoe with Nike, the Giannis Freak 7, which will be available July 29.
Some fans speculated the shoe's 'Ignition' colorway — including neon orange and pink — is a hint that he could be headed to the Knicks.

Most signs point to the Greek Freak remaining with the Bucks next season. He's played his entire career in Milwaukee, which drafted him 15th overall in 2013.
However, in the aftermath of the Bucks' third straight first-round playoff exit in April, some suspected Antetokounmpo would request a trade.
On Monday, the Bucks signed former Pacers center Myles Turner after waiving injured point guard Damian Lillard — and parting ways with veteran 3-and-D big man Brook Lopez.

Lopez agreed to a two-year, $18 million contract to join the Clippers, ESPN's Shams Charania reported last week.
The Bucks' 2024-25 season came to an end following a 119-118 overtime loss in Game 5 to the Indiana Pacers, the eventual Eastern Conference champions.
Lillard went down with a torn Achilles tendon in Game 4, and Milwaukee seemed poised for a rebuild.
Antetokounmpo is the only remaining core player from Milwaukee's 2021 title team.

Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologizes for using racial slur
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologized Wednesday for resurfaced posts where she used a racial slur against Asian people. Just a week before the reality show's finale, Ortega, who was half of one of the season's strongest couples, left the villa after old posts resurfaced that contained the slur. Ortega addressed the entire Asian community in her nearly five minute TikTok video and said she is 'deeply, truly, honestly so sorry.' 'This is not an apology video. This is an accountability video,' Ortega said in the video. 'I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it,' Ortega said. 'I had no ill intention when I was using it, but that's absolutely no excuse because intent doesn't excuse ignorance.' Ortega, who has been back in the United States for about 48 hours, said she has struggled most with the backlash experienced by her family, who she said doesn't feel safe in their own home, and have had immigration authorities called on them. 'There's no need to fight hate with hate. I don't think that that's justice," Ortega said. "And if you want to know that you're heard and that I'm sorry and that I will move differently, I promise you, that's what will happen.' Ortega's removal from the villa was announced early in Sunday's episode. Host Iain Stirling said she had left 'due to a personal situation.' 'I completely agree with the network's decision to remove me from the villa. I think that this is something that deserved punishment and the punishment is absolutely been received,' Ortega said.

Heat-Bucks Trade Report Surfaces After Lakers Whiff on Top Trade Target That Would Appease LeBron James
Heat-Bucks Trade Report Surfaces After Lakers Whiff on Top Trade Target That Would Appease LeBron James originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite starting the NBA offseason off as one of the least productive teams in the league, the Miami Heat have been praised for their move to acquire Norman Powell. Advertisement The sharpshooting guard had an all-star caliber season this past year, and in a weak East, could really elevate the Heat to being one of the best teams in the conference. His addition also allows for the Heat to trade a valuable asset in former No. 1 overall pick, Andrew Wiggins. The Heat acquired him as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, and have been shopping him throughout the offseason. One team that has frequently been eyeing the NBA Champion forward is the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Heat and Lakers have been stuck at a standstill when it comes to a deal, as the Heat are reportedly asking for far too much, knowing how desperate the Lakers are to make moves. While Rob Pelinka is expected to be in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League and will have a chance to negotiate in person, the Milwaukee Bucks have emerged as another suitor, according to Five Reasons Sports' Greg Sylvander. Advertisement "Milwaukee may be another suitor for Andrew Wiggins,' Sylvander reported. Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (22).Sam Navarro-Imagn Images A development that comes just a month after ClutchPoints' Brett Sigel reported the Bucks' initial interest in Wiggins, and one that may indicate that the Bucks are circling back around, as the Lakers may have missed their chance to land Wiggins. While it's unclear what moves the Lakers can make that will make LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the fans happy, they do find themselves in a tough spot as they are transitioning from being built around James to building around Doncic. Landing Wiggins would show signs of investment in both, but the Bucks may have something to say about that.
