Personal life

Antetokounmpo was born in Athens, Greece to parents from Nigeria, and grew up in the Athens neighborhood of Sepolia.[52] His late father, Charles, was a soccer player, while his mother, Veronica, is a former high jumper.[53] His parents are from different Nigerian ethnic groups—Charles was Yoruba, and Veronica is Igbo.[54] He officially gained Greek citizenship on May 9, 2013,[55] with the official legal spelling of his last name being Antetokounmpo.[56] His oldest brother, Francis, follows his father's career path and plays soccer professionally.

His younger brother, Giannis Antetokounmpo (b. 1994), was drafted 15th overall in the 2013 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.[57] With Giannis known as "The Greek Freak", Thanasis was sometimes referred to as "Greek Freak 2",[58][59] although his own nickname was "The Greek Streak".[60] In addition, he's also the older brother of Kostas and Alex, both of whom also trained with Filathlitikos. Antetokounmpo's mother gave each of her four sons born in Greece, both a Greek and a Nigerian name.[61] Kostas has played in the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, and also with several EuroLeague clubs. Alex, who graduated from Dominican High School, also went on to play professional basketball in the NBA G League and in Europe. Giannis has credited his development and upbringing to Thanasis, who was a catalyst for him to gain interest in basketball.[62]
