In recent years, the NBA has seen several star players change teams in order to pair up with other superstars in pursuit of a title.

Just last year, former Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors, and along with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, led his new team to a championship.

Understandably, Milwaukee Bucks fans are worried that their own young superstar - do-it-all athlete Giannis Antetokounmpo - is going to do the same thing and leave Milwaukee for a better squad in the near future.

While speaking at an event in Manila, in the Philippines, Antetokounmpo didn't exactly put Bucks fans' minds at ease. As you can see in the video below, he defended Durant's decision to leave OKC for Golden State to try to win a title:

“A lot of people say they’re going to stay on a team and decide to move to a different team," he says in the video. "But you guys got to remember: A guy might want to stay on a team, but if the team doesn’t do the right things and the right moves for the player to become great. Because, KD, the reason he wanted to stay in OKC was to win, right? So, they didn’t win the championship. That’s why he decided to leave. So do not hate only the player. Because sometimes it’s not up to the player."

Fortunately for the Bucks, they still have four years to try to compete for a title with Antetokounmpo, as the star forward signed a four-year, $100 million contract extension before the start of the 2016-17 season.

By taking less than the maximum amount of money, Antetokounmpo is trying to insure that the Bucks can surround him with the young talent necessary to compete for a championship:

"My confidence right now is really high," Antetokounmpo told NBA.com before the start of last season. "When I look at myself when I came in as a rookie and how I feel right now, it's amazing. It's a big difference. So I can't imagine how I will feel in two years. I can't wait for the future."

Last season, Antetokounmpo really came into his own, averaging career highs in nearly every statistical category. He averaged 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.6 steals per game while appearing in 80 contests.

Surprisingly, the Greek Freak led the Bucks in every single one of those categories - an incredible statistical feat. The sky is the limit for the young star, but Milwaukee would be wise to act quickly or else it could risk losing him in the future.
