Milwaukee, Feb. 5, 2026 — Giannis Antetokounmpo responded to trade-deadline chatter by posting a brief scene from the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” on social media shortly after the NBA’s cutoff passed with no deal involving the Milwaukee Bucks star.
The former MVP’s video appeared online Wednesday evening, just hours after the league’s transaction window closed. The post came in the wake of widespread speculation that Milwaukee might consider moving its franchise player before the deadline.
Antetokounmpo’s cinematic choice — a popular clip from Martin Scorsese’s 2013 movie — signaled that the two-time MVP will remain with the only NBA team he has ever played for, at least through the rest of the 2025-26 season.
The Bucks did not announce any significant last-minute moves, and Antetokounmpo’s post was the only public comment he made regarding the deadline.
