Giannis Antetokounmpo (born Adétòkunbọ̀ in 1994) – 2-time NBA MVP and 2021 NBA Finals MVP for the Milwaukee Bucks. His parents are Nigerian, and though he was born in Athens, Greece, he did not receive Greek citizenship until 2013. According to Giannis, him and his brothers grew up in a "Nigerian home" with "no Greek culture." Antetokounmpo holds dual-citizenship, having received his Nigerian passport in 2015.[5]
Thanasis Antetokounmpo (born 1992) – Giannis' older brother also plays for the Milwaukee Bucks. Like Giannis, Thanasis' surname was changed from the Yoruba "Adétòkunbọ̀" to the Greek transliteration "Antentokounmpo" as part of the citizenship process.[6]
