It’s never easy to have one member of the family make it to the NBA, let alone four of them.
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.
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).
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.
As for Alex and Kostas, they’re not in the league at this moment.
Whatever the situation, people will just have to accept and live by Antetokounmpo’s opinion as it is.
While nepotism in athletics has rarely had positive results, few people have the influence and platform to place their brothers in positions of success.
