Giannis Antetokounmpo said after the 2018 NBA All-Star Game that he could never envision himself playing in Los Angeles, and it doesn't sound like his opinion has changed.

TMZ Sports caught up with the Milwaukee Bucks star Wednesday as he and his family left Catch restaurant in West Hollywood. While Antetokounmpo enjoyed the meal, he wasn't a fan of the price tag.

"It was incredible. Expensive, expensive," he said. "This city is not for me."

Antetokounmpo signed a five-year, $228-million contract extension with the Bucks in 2020 but is admittedly careful with how he spends his money. That includes avoiding fines so he can use the money for more important things like diapers.
