The game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks was a special occasion for the Antetokounmpo family. Three brothers — Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas — stepped on the court in this game with the former two ending up as the winners (Bucks won by 112-97).
After the game, the reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo talked about what it meant for him to be a part of this game. “This moment today was probably my favorite moment I’ve had so far in the NBA,” he said. “You never have a feeling like this no matter what you do, you win a game at the buzzer beater, you score 50, you score 40…
“Just seeing the guys that I grew up with and we slept in the same bed and we were looking at the ceiling and imagining if we ever going to play in the NBA, if we ever going to make it and just being on the same court while our mom is having her phone and videotaping the whole thing, I think it’s priceless and nobody can this away from us. I think this is the best moment I’ve ever had in the NBA.”
