After reportedly agreeing to a two-year, fully guaranteed deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, we learn more about new forward and Greek international, Thanasis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly set to add another Antetokounmpo into the fold.

As all Bucks fans know by now, news broke over the weekend that the organization have agreed to a two-year, fully guaranteed deal with Greek wing-forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo, a move that obviously reunites him with his brother and reigning MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

There had been rumblings late last month relating to Antetokounmpo joining the Bucks for their ongoing Summer League run in Las Vegas, but that never came to fruition.

Instead, Antetokounmpo is returning back to the United States to continue his professional career and getting a more extended taste of the NBA after previously toiling in the now-G League when he was last stateside.

While the opportunity to reach the NBA was a more circuitous one compared to his superstar brother, Thanasis had long been on the radar of NBA teams just as long as Giannis had been, if not more so. Now after many years of hard work and perseverance, Antetokounmpo will rejoin the NBA ranks to rekindle his dream of playing in the highest league in the world and to do so alongside his brother surely makes it all the sweeter.

So without further ado, let’s learn more about the journey that Thanasis Antetokounmpo has taken throughout his basketball life and how it’s now taken him to the Milwaukee Bucks.
