Considering that, it wasn’t a surprise to watch Antetokounmpo name his three brothers when asked about the three hardest players to guard (via FIBA).
That’s why the Antetokounmpos should be extremely proud to have Giannis not only as a star but also as a future Hall of Famer, NBA champion, MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year.
As for the rest of his brothers, however, they don’t seem to have what it takes to be an NBA player.
However, Antetokounmpo’s love for his brothers has led him to constantly look up to them and uplift them.
Granted, being brothers, chances are they went through some epic battles and matchups growing up, but even Giannis must know that’s simply not true.
His brother and teammate, Thanasis, has taken criticism for his antics and not looking like an NBA-caliber player, with fans calling out the Milwaukee Bucks for having him use a roster spot that could’ve gone to an actual rotation-caliber player.
Whatever the case, that’s just the way Antetokounmpo feels about it and people will just have to respect it and live by it.
Not many people have the platform and leverage to put their brothers in a position to succeed, although nepotism in sports has rarely led to anything good.
