Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is busy staying in shape and in optimum condition ahead of the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Antetokounmpo had a lot of Bucks fans pumped up with his latest post on social media.
In a recent post on Twitter, Antetokounmpo jokingly announced that he will be staying away from dad jokes to become a poet. He captioned it with a rhyming statement that perfectly fit the images he shared:
"Greek freak is a baller so tall and sleek," Antetokounmpo wrote. "And his moves are smooth as a kiss on the cheek. I'm transitioning from jokes to poems!!"

Milwaukee Bucks fans couldn't get enough of their superstar staying in shape and in great condition. One fan said:
"Straight from the soul W."
Another claimed that Antetokounmpo is like the most famous poet in history, Shakespeare:
"Modern day Shakespeare."
One fan even joked that Antetokounmpo might have used AI:
"Written by you or ChatGPT?"
Here are some other reactions to Antetokounmpo's recent post on Twitter:
Giannis Antetokounmpo was seen wearing a combination of Greece and Bucks gear during his workouts. That might mean the "Greek Freak" will feature for his national team at the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup.
It was not the first time he wore Greece shirts during his workouts, which he posted on Twitter. Greece has been drawn in Group C with the United States, Jordan and New Zealand. They will play all their group games at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks looking to bounce back next season
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will look to bounce back after a humiliating exit in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs. The Bucks had the best record in the league heading into the postseason and were heavily favored to easily beat the Miami Heat in the first round.
However, Antetokounmpo suffered a back injury early in Game 1 and was never the same player in the rest of the series. The Heat had a 2-1 series lead when the "Greek Freak" returned in Game 4.
The Bucks were on the verge of tying the series, but a furious rally by Jimmy Butler put the Heat in the driver's seat.
In Game 5 in Milwaukee, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks were close to forcing a Game 6, but Butler and the Heat forced overtime. Miami had the momentum heading into the extra session as they bagged one of the biggest upsets in NBA history.
The Bucks subsequently fired coach Mike Budenholzer and hired Toronto Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin. They will also have to try and bring back most of their veteran core, while Khris Middleton could become a free agent.
Griffin could unleash Antetokounmpo, who was arguably being limited by Budenholzer last season.
