Thanasis Antetokounmpo has no time for haters

Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks doesn't care about haters.

Despite all the hate he has received on social media, Thanasis Antetokounmpo is tuning them out and doesn't care.

Thanasis told Donatas Urbonas of Basket News in August that only the truth will hurt him. He's not bothered by people calling him out for being in the NBA due to Giannis.

"Everybody has their opinion, but the only time it hurts you is when it's true," Thanasis said.

"If it's true, it hurts you, but at the same time, if you know my journey. ... Bro, I didn't have what to eat. Who cares about an article? I didn't have anything to eat. I'm a son of immigrants."

Thanasis was reportedly pursued by the New York Knicks this offseason before re-signing with the Milwaukee Bucks. He started his NBA career in New York during the 2015-16 season. He spent the next three years in Europe before the Bucks came calling ahead of the 2019-20 season.
