The NBA recognized the best defenders in the league during the 2024-25 season Thursday when it released its All-Defensive teams, but that naturally led to some fans questioning why certain candidates were snubbed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had an elite regular season. Despite his Milwaukee Bucks dealing with a plethora of injuries throughout the season, Antetokounmpo stepped up, shouldering the majority of the load for his squad.

"First MVP: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the No. 1-seed Thunder to a league-high 68 wins and became the second player in NBA history to average at least 30 points on 50% shooting, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block per game along with Michael Jordan (1987-88, 1990-91)," Shams added.

If the San Antonio Spurs attempt to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer, their offer would be unlikely to include the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA draft.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier that the Bucks are scheduled to meet with Antetokounmpo and his representatives, Giorgios Panou and Alex Saratsis. The upcoming meeting is about the potential future of the Greek Freak in Milwaukee.

As the NBA world discusses whether Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to request a trade, the Bucks star popped up in the Bay Area this week. But not to visit the Golden State Warriors or arrange a superstar meeting with Steph Curry.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has always been a dream scenario for Golden State Warriors fans, especially given his open admiration for Dubs icon Stephen Curry.

The Golden State Warriors have a chance, however slim, of trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason. Should the Milwaukee Bucks make him available, almost every team in the NBA is expected to put forward their best offer.
