Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo is far from a star. In fact, he’s struggled to find playing time under head coach Doc Rivers.
What cannot be denied, however, is that this dude brings an unbridled type of energy off the court — one that is significantly valued not only by brother Giannis Antetokounmpo but the rest of the squad as well.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Thanasis Antetokounmpo’s Pre-Game HYPE Routine

In a recent episode of his podcast, Thanalysis Show, the elder Antetokounmpo treated the fans with a preview of his pre-game routine. This includes getting in the middle of the huddle to get his teammates hyped up for the upcoming game.
It’s pretty epic.

Thanasis gave us a mellowed-down version of his hype routine. Just imagine the 31-year-old going through this full routine before games at full volume and a hundredfold enthusiasm.
As a teammate, there’s probably something wrong with you if you don’t get hyped by Thanasis’ antics. I mean, I was totally hyped just watching this clip.

Thanasis won’t be playing much in the Playoffs, if at all, but you can be sure that he will make his presence felt.
Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny that Thanasis is a valuable member of the Bucks squad — especially when it comes to keeping Giannis happy.
