Meet Giannis Antetokoumpo's Brothers, Thanasis and Alex, Playing Together in the Milwaukee Bucks
- For the first time in NBA history, Giannis Antetokounmpo shares the Milwaukee Bucks roster with his brothers Thanasis and Alex, making history for both the family and the franchise.
The Milwaukee Bucks have made NBA history this season by fielding three Antetokounmpo brothers on the same roster: superstar Giannis, older brother Thanasis, and youngest sibling Alex.
This unprecedented moment marks the first time in league history that three brothers have been active on one team simultaneously.
Thanasis, 32, has been with the Bucks since 2019 and won a championship with Giannis in 2021. Earlier this month, Alex, 24, signed a two-way contract, joining his brothers and completing the historic trio in Milwaukee.
Profiles of Thanasis and Alex
Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the veteran wing, has been a solid contributor for the Bucks over multiple seasons, returning this year after missing last season due to a torn Achilles injury.
His toughness and defensive presence complement the Bucks’ core and add valuable championship experience. Meanwhile, Alex Antetokounmpo brings a fresh dynamic as the youngest brother forging his path in the NBA after stints in the G League and Europe.
Though new to Milwaukee’s top roster, Alex’s signing symbolizes both his family legacy and the team's commitment to cultivating homegrown talent.
The Antetokounmpo Impact on Milwaukee
Giannis, a two-time MVP and a 2021 NBA champion, leads the Bucks with his dominant play, but this season’s family addition adds an emotional and inspiring chapter for the franchise.
The Antetokounmpo brothers' unique story reflects a profound bond that goes beyond basketball, highlighting their shared journey from Athens, Greece, to NBA stardom. Giannis has expressed deep gratitude toward the Bucks, reaffirming his commitment to bring further success to Milwaukee alongside his brothers.
The fusion of talent and family spirit brings excitement for Bucks fans as they look forward to witnessing this rare brotherly collaboration on the hardwood.
