Milwaukee Bucks Make History with Alex Antetokounmpo
In a groundbreaking milestone for the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks are set to welcome Alex Antetokounmpo to their roster through a two-way contract, making history as the first team to feature three brothers—Giannis, Thanasis, and Alex—at the same time. This news was first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Alex’s Journey and Performance
Prior to this, Alex, who has been with the Bucks’ G-League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, from 2022 to 2024, has gained experience playing in 50 games, primarily coming off the bench and contributing an average of 5.8 points and three rebounds per game. Recently, he has showcased his talents in European leagues, notably in Greece, Montenegro, and Lithuania.
Family Ties and Future Aspirations
Fans of the NBA might recall Alex’s participation during the 2022 All-Star Weekend, where he joined both Giannis and Thanasis in the skills competition, signifying the brothers’ close relationship and shared aspirations. As Giannis prepares for his 13th season, the Bucks appear to be making strategic moves to ensure his satisfaction with the franchise, with family ties undoubtedly playing a significant role in this decision.
Significance of the Signing
While Alex’s G-League background supports his acquisition, it’s clear that the signing holds deeper significance within the context of Giannis’s commitment to the organization and his family-oriented values.
