Even though the offseason is still ongoing, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has kept himself busy with various endeavors. The most recent was meeting Milwaukee Brewers Jackson Chourio during a baseball game, an encounter that has left a lot of fans hyped over the two.
At American Family Field in Milwaukee, an exciting moment unfolded as Antetokounmpo made a special appearance. He was there to support his brother Thanasis, who was set to throw a ceremonial first pitch before the Brewers faced off against the Mets.
This event not only highlighted family ties but also showcased the potential future of baseball, with 20-year-old baseball prospect Chourio joining the Bucks star for a quick chat. Antetokounmpo, who became an investor in the Brewers in 2021, expressed his joy about being part of the team’s journey.
He reflected on his incredible rise from humble beginnings in Sepolia, Greece, to becoming a key figure in Milwaukee sports. During the event, he emphasized how surreal it felt to be in such a position, especially as he recalled the euphoric moments during the Bucks’ championship parade in 2021.
