Thank you fans! For those who know me best, they know we are all about family. 

Milwaukee- You welcomed me and my family into your city, into your homes, into your hearts. 

We will forever be champions together, and me and my family will forever be grateful and thankful. 

Until next time, thanks for everything!"

Following the trade, the Bucks have one of the best duos in the league, with seven-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
