Giannis Antetokounmpo and his mother Veronica received nothing but praise from NBA fans for their traditional Nigerian attire. Veronica posted a photo of herself with the superstar Milwaukee Bucks player from their August trip to Nigeria for his documentary’s marketing.

Veronica posted an image from their trip to Nigeria last year on her Instagram account. It was taken while they were back in their homeland. They were advertising “Ugo,” a documentary about Giannis’s origins and the journey to understand their culture, which was made by WhatsApp.

“My mother made sure we carried my Nigerian culture with us while we were growing up in Greece, but I was never fortunate enough to have a direct experience in my homeland,” Giannis stated in a statement prior to the documentary’s premiere. “Thankfully WhatsApp helped me stay connected to my family and roots, allowing me to create my own unique version of heritage.”

NBA fans responded to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Veronica donning traditional Nigerian attire on social media. Giannis’ parents moved to Greece in search of employment after leaving Lagos, Nigeria. Athens is where the two-time MVP was born and reared.
