In a guest appearance on “All The Smoke” with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson discussed a bevy of topics, including Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Golden State Warriors.
When asked about a current player he would like to play with, “The Answer” replied with the reigning back-to-back Most Valuable Player. Former Warrior turned Brooklyn Net Kevin Durant also got a mention as a player Iverson would like to play alongside.
Jackson followed the conversation with a comment about Antetokounmpo leaving Milwaukee for the Bay Area. The 11-time All-Star agreed with Jackson, saying he wants Antetokounmpo to go to the Golden State Warriors.

With rumors and chatter always circulating, Antetokounmpo and the Warriors have often been linked. The top-seeded Bucks exit in round two of the playoffs in the Orlando Bubble only fueled speculation about the All-NBA forward’s future. However, it won’t be easy for the Warriors or any other team to acquire a talent like Antetokounmpo.
While there’s been no indication Antetokounmpo has plans to request a trade out of Milwaukee, the NBA’s transaction wire is known to bring a handful of surprises. Until Antetokounmpo officially signs the dotted line with the Bucks, the fans of Dub Nation will continue to monitor his situation in Milwaukee with hopes of him landing at Chase Center.
