“You make everything look cool, man, but you’re wearing a different jersey than me. You could be wearing the same jersey as me. I’m like Isaiah Stewart: I’m gonna fight for you,” Antetokounmpo said in the video.
The reference was fitting because Stewart had just been suspended seven games for running off the bench to fight Hornets forward Miles Bridges after an altercation involving the Pistons’ Jalen Duren and the Hornets’ Moussa Diabate. But buried in the joke is the truth that Antetokounmpo wants help to achieve his championship pursuits.
Booker and Antetokounmpo share an interesting history, as they faced each other in the 2021 NBA Finals that resulted in Giannis’ first and only NBA title. After going up 2-0 in the series, the Bucks reeled off four straight victories and their first NBA Championship since 1971.
While Booker likely won’t be available for a trade this offseason, perhaps securing another star could be what Antetokounmpo needs to stay in Milwaukee.
