How many brothers does Giannis Antetokounmpo have and how many are in the NBA?

Most of Giannis Antetokounmpo's brothers have been in the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar is one of the best basketball players in the world, but his brothers have played smaller roles on a few championship teams.

Kostas Antetokounmpo set the bar high

While Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is the middle child, is more skilled than his brothers, he wasn't the first to win a championship ring. Back in 2020, his younger brother Kostas won it all with the LA Lakers.

This was Kostas' second season in the NBA and his first season with the Lakers. Despite not getting playing time in the postseason, the 6-foot-10 forward became the first Greek-born player to win an NBA championship.
