The Milwaukee Bucks have remained one of the most competitive teams in the NBA over the past few years.
The rise of Giannis Antetokounmpo to stardom has undoubtedly played a crucial role in the team’s success as well.
Antetokounmpo even helped the Bucks win the 2021 NBA Championship against all odds.
Keeping that in mind, it goes without saying that the Bucks are ready to do whatever it takes to ensure he remains happy.
With that being said, most fans in the NBA community believe that the Bucks have only kept Thanasis Antetokounmpo on the roster to keep Giannis happy.
Evidently, fans like to troll the Bucks for doing so, but NBA analyst Charles Barkley recently pointed out that it only proves that Thanasis Antetokounmpo has job security like no other player in the league, via Legion Hoops on Twitter.
“Y’all can make fun of Thanasis… that guy’s got better job security than a Supreme Court justice,” Barkley said of Thanasis Antetokounmpo.

As mentioned in the above tweet, Barkley talked about how fans can continue to make fun of Thanasis, but it won’t change the fact that he has job security even greater than a Supreme Court justice.
Of course, Barkley was exaggerating to prove his point, but it’s certainly hilarious nonetheless.
Barkley’s point only gets proven when we take a look at the 31-year-old’s numbers during the 2023-24 NBA season.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo has played 23 games this season, where he has averaged just 1.0 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game.
