Milwaukee Brewerspart-owner and former Bucks starGiannis Antetokounmpo was asked about the baseball team reaching the World Series for the first time since 1982, and the two-time NBA MVP called the achievement, "incredible."

"I'm so happy for the team," Antetokounmpo told a group of Miami reporters in advance of the Heat's season opener. "It's been a lot of years in the works. Mr. Mark Attanasio and his family and his partners, really invested in that city and that team. They've done a great job developing players.

"I wish them nothing but the best. And I love what the coach [Pat Murphy] said. '[The Los Angeles Dodgers] might have had a lot of Hall of Famers, but we had a lot of gamers.' That's a quote that will last forever."

"We want to win a championship here," Antetokounmpo said in 2021. "It’s going to take time and patience but we have a great ownership group, we have great players and we’re going to accomplish it with a lot of hard work."
