Giannis Antetokounmpo: who is he?

Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo was born on December 6, 1994, in Athens, Greece. He is a Greek national and a Sagittarius by sign. His most well-known role in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is that of a player with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Because his parents immigrated to Greece from Nigeria, Giannis was reared in Athens with his four siblings. As a result, he was stateless for eighteen years and lacked both Greek and Nigerian citizenship.

He and his brother Thanasis made a living by selling handbags, watches, and sunglasses on the streets to support their parents.

At the age of 13, he began playing basketball, and two years later, he joined Filathlitikou’s young squad. Giannis played for the senior team in the semi-pro Greek B Basketball League in 2011–2012. The next season, he advanced to the Greek A2 League. A few days after turning 18, Giannis secured a deal with the Spanish basketball team CAI Zaragoza after being noticed by multiple scouts. Though he was contracted to Zaragoza, on July 30, 2013, Giannis signed a rookie contract with the Milwaukee Bucks after they bought him out. On October 13, 2013, he made his NBA debut at the age of almost 19, making him one of the league’s youngest players ever.

Giannis made rapid development, being selected to the NBA All-Rookie second team in 2014 and winning the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award on February 9, 2015. After serving three months of mandatory military duty in Greece beginning in June 2016, Giannis signed a $100 million contract extension with the Bucks on September 19, 2016. On January 19, 2017, he was selected for the Eastern Conference team in the NBA All-Star Game. In 2018, he was again selected for the NBA All-Star Game. Finally, at the end of the season, he was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP).

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, basketball saw a lackluster year in 2020; yet, on September 18, Giannis was chosen MVP. On December 15, 2020, he inked a new deal worth $228 million with the Bucks, making it the biggest NBA contract ever.

He has represented Greece in international competitions.

Giannis was raised by athletes in his family. His father, Charles, was a soccer player who passed away in September 2017, and his mother, Veronica, was formerly a high jumper. The brothers of Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas, have both entered the NBA; Kostas is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, while Thanasis plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.
