Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to a new deal with the team worth $100 million over four years, reports said Monday. The 21-year-old agreed to the contract after a stellar third season with Milwaukee, who he joined after being chosen 15th overall in the 2013 draft. Last season the giant forward averaged 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds. 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks in 80 games. Antetokounmpo's deal - averaging around $25 million a year - is just below the maximum allowed under NBA salary rules. The son of Nigerian immigrants, he was born in Athens in 1994. He took up basketball in 2007 and by 2009 had earned a regular starting place in the youth set-up at Filathlitikos.
