Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo appeared in a Mr. Potato Head costume at a postgame press conference on Friday. The Bucks All-Star said he wore the outfit to tap into his role and identity as a father.

“At the end of the day you’re a father and not a basketball player,” Antetokounmpo said.

“It’s why I choose this costume. I’m a father first; I have three kids. I have to entertain my kids.”

The Bucks fell in Friday’s game to the Chicago Bulls, 133-122. Antetokounmpo finished the contest with 38 points and 11 rebounds, for a double-double.

“They were moving the ball really well, they were playing fast. Our transition defense wasn’t as good. They were scoring in the first five seconds, seven seconds multiple plays,” Antetokounmpo said, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“I think they did a better job setting a tone in the third quarter. They came out right from the gate, no matter if we scored, they was just running the ball down to the other end and hitting the open guy. They were making shots.”

Antetokounmpo has already donned a costume during a news conference. He made an appearance during the 2023 Halloween season dressed as the Incredible Hulk.
