Amid chatter and noise surrounding his number, the Greek superstar will indeed don No. 7 as a Miami player.

Giannis picks No. 7 jersey number in new Heat stint
Now, it seems that Giannis Antetokounmpo will leave his No. 34 legacy to the Milwaukee Bucks as he pursues new beginnings as the centerpiece of the Miami Heat.
Giannis already teased a potential jersey number exchange in his recent Twitch livestream guesting with Neon, and the social media personality might have truly influenced him to pick No. 7.
Kel’El Ware is the last one to wear No. 7 for the Miami Heat. Former NBA stars Goran Dragic (2015–2021) and Kyle Lowry (2022–2024) were some of the prominent Miami players who also repped the jersey number.
Other than Giannis, his trade partner Bobby Portis will also change his number upon arriving in Miami. The veteran big man is set to play with No. 95 on his back, a number never used before in the Heat franchise’s history.
