“Both of Antetokounmpo’s parents were born in Nigeria before they immigrated to Greece and started a family. While in Nigeria last week, Antetokounmpo visited the Rowe Park Sports Centre in Lagos, where he met with basketball players during the final of the Youth Alive Basketball Championship camp. Antetokounmpo’s trip came a couple weeks after Giannis’ older brother Thanasis also visited Nigeria. Thanasis, who recently signed another deal to return to the Bucks, worked with players and provided words of inspiration to players at a camp at the Greensprings School in Lekki, Lagos, according to Nigerian media.”
