Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks recently gave fans a good laugh at a pre-game practice. While a reporter was covering courtside happenings, Thanasis caught everyone’s eye with his unique three-point shot attempt and an impromptu dance that followed.

His shot, more of a playful fling, probably missed the rim by a mile. Even after that, the player broke into a sudden dance move after doing a split mid-air. This ticked many off, due to the nepotism rumors surrounding Thanasis, while others were left entertained.

Not only fans, but even analysts started to address the fact that the nepotism surrounding Thanasis Antetokounmpo is blatantly obvious. Here’s Kendrick Perkins‘ take on the matter:

Both the Antetokounmpo brothers are on the [Bucks'] roster right now. When we talk about giving Giannis everything and more... that IS everything and more because to be honest with you we don't really know if Giannis wasn't on the Milwaukee Bucks... I don't believe that his brother would be on a NBA roster.

Thanasis, known more for his vibrant personality than his basketball prowess, has often been at the center of discussions about nepotism in the NBA. His presence in the league, largely attributed to his brother Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s influence, has been a topic of debate among fans and critics alike.

Despite the criticism, Thanasis’s antics show that he is a player who is unapologetically himself, and brings a unique energy to the Bucks. His carefree attitude in the face of scrutiny is both refreshing and entertaining.

Fans troll Thanasis yet again for being goofy on court

While Thanasis may not be a star player, his role in the Milwaukee Bucks’ dynamics is undeniable. From lightening the mood in practice sessions to being a supportive teammate, he contributes in ways that go beyond the stat sheet.
