The 27-year-old two-time NBA MVP mentioned Michael Jordan and the Bulls' NBA championships as the main reasons he would consider joining the iconic franchise.

"I think anyone asked that question, who plays basketball, if he said no, he'd be a liar," Antetokounmpo told Fox 32.

"It's a team that won multiple championships, a team with one of the greatest players if not the greatest player to ever play this game. It's a no-brainer, everybody would love to play for Chicago," the Greek Freak said.

However, it seems that the Bulls are indeed interested in signing one of the Antetokounbros, albeit not Giannis, but his brother Kostas. According to information from Greek outlet SDNA, the NBA franchise has already made their move.

Per the same report, after Kostas' impressive performance in the Greece-Turkey game for the Acropolis Tournament, which resulted in 19 points (a new career-high with the national team) and 13 rebounds, Bulls president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas communicated the team's interest to the player.

During this summer, Kostas Antetokounmpo had been in talks with Olympiacos Piraeus, with slim chances of a deal ever materializing because of financial differences and the player's role on the Greek side.

Over the last days, the 2020 NBA champ with the Lakers has been approached by two Spanish teams, Lenovo Tenerife and Granada, but talks didn't go any further, as the 24-year-old's priority is to play in the NBA or the EuroLeague.
