Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks star, has been delivering impressive performances in the new NBA season. However, his efforts have not been sufficient to turn around the team’s fortunes, as the Bucks have started the season disappointingly. Despite this rough start, the Greek Freak continues capturing attention outside the NBA community.
Out of their first five games, the Bucks only managed to win the season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers.
During his recent rally in Wisconsin, Donald Trump compared himself to the Bucks star Antetokounmpo. He surprised the NBA community by asserting that he has as much “Greek” heritage as the superstar from the Bucks.
“Your team is very good. I would say the Greek is a seriously good player. And tell me, who has more Greek in him, the Greek or me? I think we have about the same. He’s a great player, maybe the best player in the NBA actually. He’s supposed to be a very good guy too,” Trump said.

Trump’s statement stirred reactions among NBA fans, who started sharing their thoughts in the comment section of NBA Central’s post on X (formerly Twitter). One fan remarked, “Centel worthy comment.”

Another fan commented on Trump’s statement about Antetokounmpo, “Bro just said a whole lot of rubbish.”

A sports enthusiast mentioned, “Tell him to say his last name.”
Damian Lillard Shares Insights On His Dynamic With Co-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Bucks acquired Damian Lillard in a three-team trade last season, creating a powerful duo alongside Antetokounmpo. While both stars delivered impressive performances throughout the previous NBA season, the team ultimately fell short of winning the championship. Lillard recently discussed this issue in an interview on the Knuckleheads podcast.
“Me and him got to be able to hold each other accountable, and that don’t mean yelling at each other all the time. It just means, like, I got to be able to say something to you, and you got to be able to say something to me at all times.” Lillard said
Out of their first five games, the Bucks only managed to win the season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. As the Bucks struggle at the start of the season, discussions about Antetokounmpo’s future with the franchise have intensified. Basketball fans eagerly anticipate potential developments.
