"Man, he about to change my life": Giannis Antetokounmpo's $108,868,482 teammate can't stop raving on playing alongside 2x MVP

Giannis Antetokounmpo will begin his hunt for his second title with the Milwaukee Bucks this season after a successful EuroBasket tournament with Greece. The Bucks have built well around the Greek Freak, including the addition of $108,868,482 center Myles Turner, who raved about playing alongside the two-time MVP on Sunday.

The former Pacers star opened up on playing alongside Giannis after the Bucks' win over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

"Man, he's about to change my life," Turner said. "It's different, just being on the other side of it, it's interesting, it's just the mental warfare that goes into the game plan for someone like Giannis, he just makes the game so easy for the guys around him and we got his back in the end as well."

Turner joined the Bucks in free agency, signing a four-year, $108,868,482 contract after a fairytale run with the Indiana Pacers last season. The center has since featured in all three of the Bucks' preseason games.

On Sunday, Turner suited up alongside Giannis for the first time as the duo controlled the frontcourt and combined for 32 points, providing a glimpse of what is to come.

Giannis' future with Milwaukee was a topic of discussion during the offseason, with Damian Lillard's exit further fueling these rumors. However, the additions of Cole Anthony and Myles Turner quickly subdued the rumors.

With teams like the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers entering rebuilds for the upcoming season, the Bucks have a prime opportunity to assert themselves and challenge the likes of Cleveland and Orlando for dominance in the Eastern Conference.

Doc Rivers lauds Myles Turner as the perfect fit alongside star Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Milwaukee Bucks’ new frontcourt pairing of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner made their debut on Sunday, leading the team to a 127-121 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Both players reached double figures, with Turner topping the team with 19 points, showcasing impressive chemistry in their first outing together.

Head coach Doc Rivers seemed thrilled with the addition of Turner and lauded him during the post-game conference.

"He's great for this team, I couldn't have thought of a better person that fits Giannis. I mean, he's really good for us," Rivers expressed.

The Milwaukee Bucks are undefeated during the preseason and will face the OKC Thunder in their final warm-up game.
