On Sunday, it was Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo himself that led the way for Team Giannis in this year's edition of the star-studded NBA All-Star Game. Unfortunately, the 24-year-old's team-high 38 points (on an insane 17-of-23 shooting), two three-pointers, 11 rebounds, five assists, and one steal were not enough, as his team eventually succumbed to Team LeBron, 178-164.
Following the amazing contest, Giannis decided to bring along his brothers to the podium as he attended his post-game press conference. It was indeed a memorable night for the 6-foot-11 forward, and he made sure that he would share this moment with his family.

Giannis is the middle child among five Antetokounmpo brothers.
Their eldest is Francis, who has played professionally as a soccer player in Nigeria.
Thanasis is the second among the five, and he was actually drafted by the New York Knicks in 2014 — one year after the Bucks picked Giannis 15th overall. Unfortunately, Thanasis was unable to cut it in the big league, and he was eventually waived by the Knicks in 2015.
Giannis has two younger brothers. Kostas is a rookie who is currently on a two-way deal with the Dallas Mavericks. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers last summer but was immediately shipped off to Dallas on draft day.
The youngest among the five is Alex, who is currently playing ball for the Dominican High School in Milwaukee. He has shown some promise, and according to some reports, might have NBA-level potential.
Giannis may not have won the game or the MVP title, but he has surely won the hearts of so many supporters with his endearing expression of brotherly love.
