Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian is an avid sports fan who follows the NWSL, NFL, men's soccer, and tennis, among other games, while also sharing his thoughts about teams and players on social media.

Ohanian's latest post relating to the NBA comes after a close game in which the Milwaukee Bucks edged past the Dallas Mavericks 106-105. Giannis Antetokounmpo was instrumental in his side's win, scoring 28 points, leading to the American investor reveal that he was a big fan of the 28-year-old and his older brother Thanasis.

"Giannis Antetokounmpo + Thanasis Antetokounmpo are my guys"

Ohanian made the revelation while replying to a query on whether he was a Bucks fan. Although Giannis Antetokounmpo spent the last couple of minutes of the game on the bench after having fouled Tim Hardaway Jr., the Mavericks player missed all three free throws.

Ohanian also posted a message congratulating Antetokounmpo for the "great win." The 'Greek Freak' stressed after the match that it was great to be playing "on the biggest stage in the world."

"It's great playing basketball, great playing on the biggest stage in the world. It's great playing against the best players in the world. At the end of the day, we play this game to enjoy this game and play this game to win. And just being out there, you can never take it for granted," said Antetokounmpo after the match.

In addition to being a sports buff, Serena Williams' husband is also a sports promoter and is the co-founder of Angel City Football Club, which is part of the NWSL.
