A year after its January 2023 launch, the new lemon-lime drink Starry is drawing some superstar power thanks to a new partnership with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The roster of athletes associated with the brand is growing, and the all-star forward is the newest addition. Other athletes include NBA players Zion Williamson, Zach LaVine, Klay Thompson, and WNBA player A’ja Wilson.
Antetokounmpo expressed his happiness about joining the Starry team. “That’s a great group right there,” he says in a Variety interview. 
“We probably dominate if we play five on five against anybody in the world.”Playing with a team of all-stars is nothing new for Antetokounmpo, who also has a collaboration with Nike for his upcoming Giannis Freak 5 ASW and new Giannis Immortality 3 ASW sneakers. The Greek-born athlete, who presently plays for the Milwaukee Bucks with fellow starter Damian Lillard, will be participating in his seventh NBA All-Star Game, an annual east versus. west exhibition game. In actuality, Doc Rivers, the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, is the coach of the East All-Star team. 
“It feels good to do things with people that you work with, and people that you shared a common goal [with],” Antetokounmpo says in reference to his experience playing on the same court as his Bucks colleague during the All-Star Game. “I’m happy that he was voted as a starter for the first time and that we can complete this together.”Starry, the official soft drink of the NBA, will be a prominent partner of NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana, starting on Friday, February 16. The famous three-point game is being held by the soda brand, together with Malik Beasley, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton, Damian Lillard, Lauri Markkanen, Donovan Mitchell, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Trae Young. 
Everyone is expected to participate on Saturday, February 17, the second night of the event weekend.There is a great deal of excitement around the game of basketball. Antetokounmpo continues, “I’m excited to just go out there and have fun and try to put on the show,” in reference to NBA All-Star Weekend.The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are presently rated ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks as the third seed for the NBA Playoffs, which start at the end of April. Following the all-star break, the NBA season 2023–24’s second half gets underway. Antetokounmpo is still fighting for the title and wants to improve with a few months left in the season.
“I want to build good habits and connect with my teammates more,” the Bucks star declares. “Even with a healthy second half of the season, health is the most important thing in the NBA.” As long as I’m well, I think I have a lot of influence over most things. Hence, just staying in shape and exercising. Permit my squad to have fun and play well!
