In a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA and brought tears of joy to Bucks fans worldwide, Milwaukee Bucks CEO Peter Feigin has just announced that franchise cornerstone and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has been officially named the President of Basketball Operations for the team.
The announcement, made at a surprise press conference at Fiserv Forum earlier today, was met with standing ovations, chants of “MVP!” and celebrations throughout the city.
“There’s never been a player like Giannis — not just in terms of athleticism and heart, but in leadership and vision,” Feigin said. “It’s only right that someone who built this franchise into a championship contender from the ground up now helps shape its future from the top.”
Giannis, 30, who led the Bucks to a historic NBA title in 2021 and has remained loyal to Milwaukee ever since, appeared emotional as he accepted the role. Dressed in a sharp suit embroidered with the words “Fear the Deer” inside the lining, he addressed fans directly.
“Milwaukee is my home,” Giannis said. “I came here as a kid, and you all helped me grow into a man. I’m not done. We’re going to build something even bigger — together.”
What Does This Mean for the Bucks?
While Giannis has not officially retired from playing, sources close to the team say the role will allow him to take an active part in shaping the roster, development programs, and long-term vision of the organization.
Speculation is already swirling about major moves under Giannis’ leadership — including the pursuit of international talent, a revamped player development staff, and a rumored partnership with his brothers to bring them into executive and coaching roles.
NBA legends and fellow stars reacted quickly on social media:
- LeBron James: “Respect. This is how you build legacy. Congrats @Giannis_An34 👑”
- Stephen Curry: “When a player becomes a boss AND still can drop 30+ — that’s GOAT stuff. 👏”
- Magic Johnson: “Giannis is the future of the NBA — both on and off the court!”
A New Era Begins
With Giannis now playing a dual role as superstar and executive, the Bucks look poised for a new golden age. Milwaukee businesses lit up their buildings green and white, and fans flooded the streets in spontaneous celebration.
