Despite $228,000,000 Wealth, Giannis Antetokounmpo Reveals Favorite Chinese Food He Doesn’t Get in America: “For 5 Years I’ve Been Craving…”

Giannis Antetokounmpo had one of the most heroic stories of entering the NBA. Drafted 15th overall in 2013, Antetokounmpo has had an unbelievable rise to the top. But while success in the NBA can make any player develop a sense of pride and arrogance, Antetokounmpo has only grown more humble over the years.

The Greek Freak had one of the most humble beginnings to his career. The journey of roaming the streets of Athens, Greece, hawking watches and sunglasses to winning a championship in the NBA has truly been inspirational. One might think that the incredible success that Antetokounmpo has enjoyed over the years can get him all the luxuries he was deprived of as a child. However, when it comes to his favorite food, Antetokounmpo has had to wait years.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and his favorite Chinese food

Giannis Antetokounmpo had yet another All Star season in 2022-23. The 28 year old received his 5th consecutive All NBA First Team selection last season. Despite this outstanding performance, him and his team, the Milwaukee Bucks suffered a humiliating exit in the first round of the playoffs in the hands of the Miami Heat. After this season, Antetokounmpo was seen relaxing and spending some time with his family during the offseason.

Antetokounmpo recently visited China along with his family. During an interview in China, the 2 time MVP was asked if he had any Chinese dishes on his mind that he wanted to try. And when asked about “Chicken Feet”, Antetokounmpo was quick to respond: “I love Chicken Feet.”

He further added, “I came here 2018, and I tried for the first time Chicken Feet. It was a little bit spicy. For 5 years I’ve been craving Chicken Feet.”

He also hilariously made a deal with the interviewers to have Chicken Feet together. “If you’re in Beijing, bring for me some Chicken Feet,” he said. “We can interview and we can try together. Next time? Deal.”
