Potentially on his way out this summer, Giannis Antetokounmpo is fuelling the fantasies of many fanbases, including the Warriors’. His recent appearance in the Bay Area has only heightened the sense of excitement on the ground.
At present, the hypothesis that would see him continue his career with the Bucks remains highly credible. Many fans, however, would be disappointed to see it materialize. It has to be said that Giannis Antetokounmpo has generated a plethora of transfer rumors by recently calling his future into question. One of them, fuelled by well-known insiders, is sending him to Golden State, and is causing quite a stir.
Giannis to the Warriors? Viral videos that set fans on fire
Supposedly undecided about his future in the league, Antetokounmpo isn’t exactly trying to silence the rumors surrounding him. Quite the contrary, in fact. A few days ago, for example, he gave credence to those linking him to the Warriors with an outing that didn’t go unnoticed on social networks. As did his appearance in recent hours at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in San Francisco:

This poor-quality video, shared by an Internet user, quickly made the rounds on the web. It shows Giannis and members of his family, obviously visiting the Californian metropolis. This impression was confirmed a few hours later by other, much better images, showing the Greek Freak cheering at a conference held by Google in the city:

As a reminder, Giannis counts Google among his sponsors, which could simply explain his presence at this event. However, for some easily inflamed fans, this is a clear sign that he will be joining the Dubs:
