Giannis Antetokounmpo on Marc Lasry selling his share of Bucks: 'He made the best business decision for himself'

17.04.2023 20:43

“It’s a business,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said. “He made the best business decision for himself. He sold the team for a valuation of (about) $3.5 billion dollars. That’s seven, eight (times) in a span of eight, nine years. That’s pretty good if you look at numbers. So, no. I’m happy for him. He was a great man, it was a great run with him. Obviously, we’re going to stay in touch, no matter if he’s the Bucks owner or if he’s not. Happy for him, his family, for Alex (Lasry) also. I told him before he sold the team let’s try to win a championship so he can have something to say to his friends that he left on top.”

That was a optimistic update on Giannis Antetokounmpo from Mike Budenholzer.
That means they should have been able to focus on all the things they did wrong on defense in their film session. And there was plenty to watch.

Miami’s doing a great job so far defensively in transition, walling off Giannis with multiple bodies and refusing to allow him to get to the rim against a single defender.

More on this storyline

Shams Charania: There is optimism surrounding Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) availability for Game 2 vs. Miami on Wednesday, sources say. From Run It Back on @FanDuelTV: pic.twitter.com/E6GpFdxjaC -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 17, 2023

Jamal Collier: Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer says Giannis Antetokounmpo had an X-ray that came back “clear” “We’ll monitor him and see how he wakes up tomorrow” -via Twitter @JamalCollier / April 16, 2023

Eric Nehm: Per Bucks PR, Giannis Antetokounmpo is OUT with a lower back contusion. -via Twitter @eric_nehm / April 16, 2023

“He’s a guy who wanted to talk to us, somebody who wanted to get to know us,” Holiday said. “Any questions I asked financially or otherwise, he was there. A lot of people have his number. Anytime you got to New York or something and get lunch or get a drink or whatever, he’s just always available. It’s been cool – it’s the first time I’ve really gotten to know an owner on this level – because he’s somebody who really seems to care about the players. “You know as the owner sometimes you want to; I guess I feel sometimes you want to quote-unquote ‘control a lot’ or control players and I think Marc did a good job of letting people do their jobs. And I appreciate that.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / April 17, 2023

Why did Marc Lasry sell his share of the Bucks? Marc Larry: “I don’t think there was a ‘why now,’ I think it sort of felt like this was the right time,” he said. “I don’t know if there is any specific reason for it.” He paused for a few heartbeats. “I don’t think it’s ever a good time.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / April 17, 2023

When that room was built, it had significantly less hardware than it does now – namely the crown jewels of the 2020-21 Eastern Conference and NBA championships. As Lasry exits from his share of stewardship of the franchise after nine seasons, the Bucks’ ascent to the top of the league will be the lasting part of his legacy. “It’s been a phenomenal experience,” he told the Journal Sentinel. “I think the city of Milwaukee has been great. I’ve been surprised at sort of how welcoming and how nice the people of Milwaukee are. They welcomed us when we came here. I think we’ve been able to establish roots here. It’s been a pretty unique experience.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / April 17, 2023
