On social media, there is a circulating allegation that Giannis Antetokounmpo has instructed the Milwaukee Bucks to put his brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo above everyone else in trade negotiations. In an effort to bolster their roster in anticipation of a potential championship run, the Bucks are anticipated to be active prior to or at the trade deadline.How real is Thanasis’s untouchability then? The NBA Centel on X broke the story first. According to their claim, the two-time MVP Antetokounmpo brother, 31, has directed not to be available for any trades before the deadline of February 8.”The Milwaukee Bucks have made Thanasis Antetokounmpo ‘untouchable’nin trade talks, per @Giannis_An34,” the tweet read.It is important to remember that the NBA Centel is a humorous parody account and should not be taken seriously.This page is satire, based on the actual The Dunk Central account, which provides news about the league in a real way.On social media, jokes about Milwaukee Bucks player Thanasis Antetokounmpo have become the subject of ridicule.Few fans find the Milwaukee Bucks’ Thanasis Antetokounmpo impressive; in fact, a few of them even think Giannis is the only reason the player is still playing in the NBA.Fans have, however, continuously made fun of Thanasis on social media, regardless of their opinions about him.Over the past few years, a number of accounts have published compilations of Thanasis’s funniest plays. The former NBA champion has also been ridiculed in countless memes and comments.Although it’s unclear when the dislike for Thanasis began, a few NBA officials’ opinions on the Bucks forward went viral in April.During an August interview with Donatas Urbonas of Basket News, Thanasis Antetokounmpo discussed the nasty mail he gets. He’s not bothered by what other people are saying about his career, explaining that only the truth can hurt him and not lies.”Everybody has their opinion, but the only time it hurts you is when it’s true,” Thanasis said.”If it’s true, it hurts you, but at the same time, if you know my journey. … Bro, I didn’t have what to eat. Who cares about an article? I didn’t have anything to eat, I’m a son of immigrants.”
In the offseason, Thanasis almost signed as a free agent with the New York Knicks, despite what some fans are saying about him. At the final minute, he decided to stick with the Bucks and continue playing for Adrian Griffin as coach.
