While the Milwaukee Bucks did move on from Khris Middleton eventually, Giannis Antetokounmpo helped to shoot down at least one blockbuster swap involving the three-time All-Star.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has proven that he's not like the average NBA superstar. Instead of leaving for a bigger market, he doubled down on his commitment to the Milwaukee Bucks, stayed with the team that drafted him, and even made his way to an NBA championship.

Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't involve himself in front-office decisions often but he did speak up against a trade involving Khris Middleton for Jimmy Butler years ago, former Bucks forward John Henson said.
