Although it's becoming more and more common for stars to leave their teams to join "super teams," that doesn't appear to be Giannis Antetokounmpo's intention.

Amid speculation that the Milwaukee Bucks phenom could eventually be lured to another club, he tweeted Thursday the following (slightly altered) lyric from Kendrick Lamar's "DNA" alongside a deer emoji:

That seems to suggest the 22-year-old All-NBA forward is loyal to the Bucks, with whom he inked a four-year, $100-million contract extension last year that'll keep him in Milwaukee through 2020-21.

If the reigning Most Improved Player's tweet is any indication, he'll be around much longer.
