The Greek Freak is here to stay for the next five years.

Giannis Antetokounmpo announced the news on social media, saying he's signed a contract extension for the next five years. The Athletic reports it's worth $228.2 million.

Prior to signing the contract, Giannis had also said in several interviews that he loved Milwaukee and wasn't planning on leaving. We must say, though, it feels pretty good to have that official.
