Giannis Antetokounmpo put up another MVP-caliber performance on Saturday before commenting on Kostas Antetokounmpo call-up from the Dallas Mavericks. The Milwaukee Bucks will host his brother’s team on Monday.
“I’m real excited. He’s my little brother. It’s going to be fun having him around” the Greek Freak said ahead of Kostas potential NBA debut and added: “I think it’s a good opportunity for him to show what he’s capable of”.
His 21-year-old brother started the 2018-19 season with 9.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per G League match with the Texas Legends. “Hopefully I can have some minutes against him on Monday. He’s not going to take it easy on me, so I’ll try to not take easy on him also” Giannis added.
He had already helped the streaking Bucks beat the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center with 25 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. He’s now averaging 26.4 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6 assists in the NBA 2018-19 Regular Season.
