If you thought Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was a scary athletic prospect, his 16-year-old brother is just as impressive. Alex Antetokounmpo has measured in with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, already just about equaling his older sibling’s measurements.

If he winds up in the NBA, Alex would become the fourth Antetokounmpo brother to make it to the league. It would be a truly remarkable feat, especially for a family who originates from Greece and grew up playing soccer instead of dribbling a basketball.
Needless to say, they’ve all picked the right sport to pursue, as Giannis and company have a unique and rare athletic makeup we haven’t quite seen in the league before.
Giannis is already a two-time All-Star and one of the favorites for league MVP heading into this upcoming campaign.
The eldest Antetokounmpo sibling is Thanasis, who is 26 years old and was originally selected by the New York Knicks in 2014. He has since left American waters and plays for Greek giant Panathinaikos.
Lastly, Kostas, who is 20 years old, was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks just a couple of months ago. He is on a two-way contract.
All three siblings look to up to Giannis for guidance with their respective careers, and understandably so. The Bucks star has put the family name on the map and has gotten better every season.
After the Bucks underperformed this past regular season, an even greater burden will be placed on the 23-year-old’s broad shoulders. Nevertheless, Giannis will remain a menace on both sides of the floor in the hopes of keeping the Bucks relevant and continuing their playoff quest through his extraordinary play.
