The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder to become NBA Cup champions, and that means every player was awarded $500,000.

Some players had already shared what they would do with the money when they won, and Giannis Antetokounmpo shared where all his money was going

“I gotta go Christmas shopping, and a happy kid on the way, diapers are expensive, so the money’s already gone,” Antetokounmpo said.

That’s a great answer from Antetokounmpo, and that’s most likely where his money will be going, especially with Christmas just around the corner. Before the game, Damian Lillard shared what he’d do with the money if the Bucks won.

“I’ve been doing this a long time, so when I get it, I ain’t gonna just blow it or go crazy,” Lillard said. “I’m gonna probably go to the support staff, the training staff, the people that come in every day all day when we get to go home and try to do something to support them.”

Both Lillard and Antetokounmpo have good ideas, and whoever ends up getting a piece of the money will be satisfied. The most important thing is that the Bucks won and they have extra motivation going into the rest of the regular season.

this win is about so much more than simply getting paid big bucks.

Instead, it’s about reminding the rest of the NBA how powerful the Bucks can be and why they should be feared.

They want to be championship contenders again and that is exactly how they looked on Tuesday night.

Even if the money wasn’t a factor, the Bucks would have played with heart, drive, and determination—because they had something to play for.
