In an era where loyalty is a rare sight, one superstar lives the mantra every single day, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Despite being a free agent, the Greek Freak decided to stay loyal to the Milwaukee Bucks. Having offers from big market teams, Antetokounmpo took the hard way. And it took just one season for the sown seeds to bear rewards. However, the 27-year-old might have one priority for which he would do anything.
While Antetokounmpo is loyal to the Deer District, he arguably values his family the most. His affection for blood is so much so that he carries his brothers with him on the journey. Notably, the almost entire Antetokounmpo clan is somehow related to the NBA. Brothers Thanasis and Kostas have already made strides in the big league. On the other hand, the youngest, Alex Antetokounmpo has joined the Bucks’ G-League affiliate.
Now as the gates of free agency close up, unlikely news came out to the delight of the NBA fans. Notably, the only factor that could drive Giannis Antetokounmpo away from Milwaukee lies with them, his own family.
