Few NBA players had as much of an impact as Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak’s dominating play and intimidating stature have swept the league. However, the great history of the Antetokounmpo family adds even more significance to his incredible path.

Giannis and his four siblings were born to Charles and Veronica Antetokounmpo in Athens, Greece, and they all share a passion for basketball. Made some significant contributions to the past as well.

By leaving Nigeria for Greece, Charles and Veronica gave their children a chance at a better life and the chance to follow their own goals. The five brothers all refined their athletic skills while growing up in Athens, Greece.

They also document their exploits on YouTube under the nаme AntetokounBrosTV. But they don’t stop there; through the AntetokounBros Academy, the brothers are also engaged in charitable work.

In an exciting turn of events, Giannis, Thanasis, and Alex, three of the brothers, joined forces in the Skills Challenge during the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend. The unprecedented on-court reunion of four generations of the same family touched the emotions of NBA fans everywhere.

Do any of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s siblings have NBA experience?

The Antetokounmpo brothers’ basketball skills speak for themselves. Francis, a native of Nigeria, became famous as a professional soccer player in both his country and in Greece. Francis’ musical ability, however, is what truly sets him apart. To demonstrate his range as an artist, in 2020 he released his first single, “Shekosi,” along with a music video.

Thanasis, the second eldest, went from playing in the Greek minor levels to the National Basketball Association. He was drafted by the New York Knicks but ended up with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he was an integral part of their 2021 NBA title run. Thanalysis, his podcast, is an expression of his eclectic tastes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the middle child and the most well-known of the Antetokounmpo siblings. It is quite remarkable how he went from a modest upbringing in Greece to an NBA superstar. He has won numerous Most Valuable Player awards and guided the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA title in 2021.

Kostas, the second-youngest sibling, followed his own road to the NBA. Later joining the Los Angeles Lakers, he made history in 2020 as the first NBA champion of Greek descent after playing for them after being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers during his time at the University of Dayton.

Alex Antetokounmpo, the youngest of the Antetokounmpo siblings, is creating a nаme for himself in the NBA. His dedication to preparing for the NBA is evident in his choice to forego collegiate basketball in favor of playing in Europe. A day after signing with the Milwaukee Bucks, he was released.

Alex’s older brother Giannis would have been the ideal person to attest to his ability. Many young sportsmen have been motivated by the incredible story of the Antetokounmpo family. Surprisingly, in 2022, Disney+ debuted the biopic Rise about the group.
