Giannis Antetokounmpo: Nigerian Freak and brothers set to represent Greece at World Cup

The Greek team's 2023 FIBA World Cup roster was just made public by FIBA, and it featured Giannis Antetokounmpo as well as his brothers Thanasis and Kostas.

According to a report by CBS Sports on July 5, Giannis Antetokounmpo underwent cleanup surgery on his knee but has yet to receive the go-ahead from the Milwaukee Bucks to compete for the Greek national team in the FIBA World Cup.

However, despite not knowing if he would participate or not, the Greek basketball squad did include the former NBA MVP.

The top-seeded Bucks lost to the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs because Giannis Antetokounmpo's back injury occurred during the first round.

Thanasis, his brother, is a Milwaukee Bucks player who also competes in the NBA and will represent his country.

The third Antetokounmpo brother, Kostas, won a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2020 offseason.

Kostas currently plays basketball for Panathinaikos in the Greek basketball league after failing to land an NBA contract.

The 2023 FIBA World Cup draw didn't go well for the Greek national team because it was paired with Team USA, New Zealand, and Jordan.

Giannis and his brothers are currently promoting his Nike Zoom Freak 5 shoe in China.
