There’s a viral rumor on social media about Giannis Antetokounmpo telling the Milwaukee Bucks to make his brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo untouchable in trade talks. The Bucks are expected to be active before or at the trade deadline as they try to improve their roster for a potential championship run.

But how true is Thanasis’ untouchable status? The rumor was first reported by the NBA Centel on X. They reported that the 31-year-old Antetokounmpo brother won’t be available for any trades before the Feb. 8 deadline as instructed by the two-time MVP.

“The Milwaukee Bucks have made Thanasis Antetokounmpo ‘untouchable’nin trade talks, per @Giannis_An34,” the account wrote.

It should be noted that the NBA Centel is a parody account meant for laughs and should not be taken seriously. It’s a satire page based on the real The Dunk Central account that reports legitimate news around the league.

Not a lot of fans are impressed with Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and some of them even believe that Giannis is the only reason he’s still on an NBA roster. But regardless of what fans think about Thanasis, they have consistently made fun of him on social media.

Compilations of some of Thanasis’ funniest plays from the last few years have already been uploaded by a few accounts. The former NBA champion has also been ridiculed in countless memes and comments.
