Giannis, of course, had a lot of reasons to celebrate. He went to the Chick-fil-A restaurant in nearby Brookfield, Wisconsin, carrying the Larry O’Brien Trophy and the Bill Russell Finals MVP awards on his lap with him, videos show. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Antetokuonmpo “tried negotiating for free Chick-Fil-A for life and started a ‘Bucks in 6’ chant with stunned fans who realized Giannis was in the car.”

“That’s why I signed in Milwaukee, so I can get free Chick-Fil-A for life,” Giannis said at one point in the video. “Hey, right now, I’m putting you guys on the spot,” he said to an employee at the drive-thru window. “Free Chick-Fil-A for life?”
The employee said, “You win it again next year then you got a deal.” Giannis responded, “So I got to be a back-to-back champ for Chick-Fil-A for life?” and he let a shocked fan touch the trophy.
