Antetokounmpo’s visit to Brazil appears to have been inspired by a Twitter interaction with Eduardo Paes, the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro. It started when the Bucks superstar suggested a foreign city be the host for an NBA All-Star Game.
2027 All star game should be in Rio de Janeiro or in a city in China! https://t.co/lzBFu9CXFD

After mentioning Rio de Janeiro by name, the city’s mayor was quick to reply to Giannis, extending an invitation to visit.
