Antetokounmpo said goodbye to Bucks fans in an emotional video post on July 6. “I hope bringing a trophy to this city meant something to them because it meant so much to me,” Antetokounmpo told fans. “I want you to hear it from my mouth: The city of Milwaukee will always be in my heart. This is my home. No matter where I am, Milwaukee will always be my city, my team, my family.”

The two-time MVP continued, “I believe the city of Milwaukee is blue collar. It’s people that work extremely hard every single day, and give all their hard-earned money to come watch the Milwaukee Bucks. To come and feel something, to come be a part of us. I hope that I was able to represent them the best that I could. And I was like them. I showed up to work. Did everything that I was willing to do, all the dirty work, just like them.”
