Giannis inadvertently explains exactly why Bucks don't need Trae Young

Giannis Antetokounmpo likes to have the basketball in his hands, and that's simply something that the Milwaukee Bucks have to understand in trade talks. Trading for another ball-dominant star feels like it could be a move that upsets the Greek Freak. Following a recent game, Giannis explained why he feels like the team is at its best when he's operating with the ball.

"The more I playmake, the more the ball is in my hands—Not selfish. I’m not trying to say that when I have the ball, I’m trying to score. That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is the gravity I create when I have the ball in my hands allows my teammates to be open and puts them in positions to be successful.
