Antetokounmpo has only made the NBA Finals once in his career, winning the title back in 2021. While he doesn’t specifically mention the Bucks, he does seem to indicate he wants to get there with that team.
It’s unlikely that the Bucks will be there next season with Damian Lillard missing most of next season. He will be out with a torn Achilles that he suffered in the playoffs.
That means that the Bucks will likely return to contention with Lillard back in the fold in a couple of years. Next year would be more of a gap year with the Bucks if Antetokounmpo does decide to stay.
