MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo said on Monday that he hadn’t slept in the two days since the Milwaukee Bucks’ season came to an end.
But the NBA MVP finalist said his team still had a successful season despite falling short of its goal of winning the second NBA championship in franchise history.

“It’s just fun to walk out in Milwaukee and see people in Bucks stuff,” Antetokounmpo said. “We were able to bring people out of their houses to come and enjoy games and just be a part of the Milwaukee Bucks, be happy about something in this city, be excited about something. It was an amazing, amazing season, and hopefully we can carry on from where we left off and come back and be better.”
The Bucks had the best record in the NBA during the regular season and were two wins shy of reaching the NBA Finals. Now, the franchise and its fans must face the reality that the roster — outside of Eric Bledsoe and Antetokounmpo — could look a lot different next season.
