Just getting into NBA, why is Giannis unlikely? isn't he stalling over the new contract?

Giannis is a lifer if I ever saw one. He already won a chip and is basically a god to Milwaukee now. He's cut from the same cloth as Dirk and Steph.

He's also on record plenty of times not enjoying the big city life and doesn't seem interested in hanging out with other players that aren't on his team. He's a stay at home family guy.

That's not to say it's impossible. As a bucks fan I want him to stay forever but I understand there's a real chance he leaves someday.

But he's not going to be swayed to a shitty team just for money or just for the city like some players would. It would need to legitimately be the best chance for him to win, which I really don't think the Knicks are that.
