A new Antetokounmpo is making airwaves as Alex Antetokounmpo just had an impressive debut to his professional basketball career. Alex, the youngest of the four Antetokounmpo brothers, has recently gone overseas in the hopes of developing his talent even further to prep him for the NBA.
On Sunday, Alex made his debut appearance for UCAM Murcia's B-Team and shocked the world with 28 points on a 8-12 shooting clip including 6-9 from three-point distance.

The youngest Antetokounmpo even added six rebounds and one steal in his 28-minute pro debut. Not bad for a 19-year old.
After playing high school basketball for Domincan High School in Wisconsin for four years, the 6'8″ forward decided to skip collegiate ball and signed a three-year contract with UCAM Murcia in Spain. Sunday was his first opportunity to prove he's worth every euro as he was fielded for the club's second-team for a lower division match. Seeing the way he balled out in his debut, UCAM Murcia might have to seriously consider making Alex a staple for their first team.
Although 2020 has been tough for almost everyone, the entire Antetokounmpo family found reasons to celebrate over the past few weeks. Last month, Alex's eldest brother Giannis was awarded back-to-back MVP of the NBA and just last week, his other older brother Kostas brought home an NBA title as a member of the 2020 Los Angeles Lakers championship squad.
With Alex now paving his own way in Spain, it looks like Antetokounmpo will be a household name in basketball for years to come.
