Three Antetokounmpo brothers are on the Milwaukee BucksAlex Antetokounmpo joined his older brothers Giannis and Thanasis when he was signed by the team this monthThe brothers are making NBA history: No other team has ever sported three siblings on the same roster

It’s all in the family for Giannis Antetokounmpo this season — two of his brothers are his teammates!

As the 30-year-old Milwaukee Bucks star enters his 13th year in the NBA, he’ll do so with older brother Thanasis, 32, and younger brother Alex, 24, by his side.

After Alex was signed to a two-way contract earlier this month, it marked the first time in NBA history that three brothers played on the same team, according to ESPN.

Thanasis played for the Bucks from 2019-2024 — and won an NBA championship with Giannis in 2021 — before sitting out last season with a torn Achilles. He re-signed with the franchise for a one-year deal in August.

The reunion comes at a time when Giannis has been the subject of trade rumors.

ESPN reported that the Knicks were talking to the Bucks about acquiring the two-time NBA MVP over the offseason, but the deal fizzled.

Instead, the nine-time All-Star looks to be settling into a new chapter with the Bucks, and he told reporters on the eve of the season that the team is an under-the-radar contender.

“We’re not the favorites, but we’re going to be a problem,” he said. “We’re going to be dangerous. The team is set up in a way that is very, very dangerous. We have a lot of shooting. We have a lot of playmakers and ball handlers. We have a lot of defenders.”

He added, “We are set up exactly how you need to set up to make a statement.”

As for his plans after the NBA, Giannis also recently made a statement about that.

During an interview with ANT1’s The 2night Show on Tuesday, Oct. 14, the Bucks star said that he’d like to cap his pro career by playing for a Greek basketball team.

“I’m 30 years old, I can play in the NBA until I’m 36-38. I’d like to end my career in a Greek team, why not?” the Nigerian-Greek player said, according to a translation by BasketNews.

He added, “I don’t want to live in the United States. As soon as I leave the NBA, I want to return to Greece.”
