Bucks’ Thanasis Antetokounmpo makes Giannis proud with sweet lefty jam

Thanasis Antetokounmpo made his brother and superstar Giannis proud with a big dunk highlight in the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.

Thanasis is going through his seventh year of playing in the NBA, his sixth with the Bucks. He has been teammates with his brother Giannis since 2019, being a part of the 2021 championship squad.

The veteran forward often comes off the bench as part of the reserve units, especially near the end of games when the result is clear. This game against the Nets was one of those times as he took part on the hardwood to close out the night.

In the final minute of the game, Thanasis drove to the paint as he leapt in the air and threw down the left-handed poster dunk. This got the Milwaukee players on the bench to stand with huge approval, especially from Giannis.
