Giannis Antetokounmpo explained his decision to sign a five-year, $228 million supermax contract extension with the Milwaukee bucks in his media availability on Wednesday.

"Have kids and to have a championship. That's all I want," said Antetokounmpo. 

"I just want to have kids, being able to raise my kids, and win a championship," he continued while speaking to reporters. "After that, my life's complete. I can retire in five years. Nah, I'm joking."

Antetokounmpo's max contract would have been for four years and $145 million if he had gone elsewhere.

"The way that this city has supported me and my family has been amazing since day one, since the day I walked in the Cousins Center gym and Bradley Center also. It's been amazing. I was 18. I'm 26 right now. All I know is Milwaukee," Antetokounmpo said. "When I came here, all I knew is that this is a city that loves basketball. It's a city that ... we have more things to do now, but when I came here, we had a lot of things to do, so I could just focus on basketball, and it's a place that I want to be. It's a place where I want to raise my kids, and I feel good here. I feel that my family feels good here, so I'm good."

Winning a title is ultimately Antetokounmpo's goal.

"I think we can get better. I believe we can be better. We've got better," Antetokounmpo said. "We have a great team. We have a great culture. I know that I'm working toward that goal. The front office is working toward that goal, so I'm good. I'm happy. I think everybody's on the same page.

"At the end of the day, you've got to look at the past. We've gotten better every single year. In my opinion, the last two years were realistically the two years where we fight for a championship. The years before that, there wasn't championship years, so it's not going to be easy."
