Giannis Antetokounmpo is on a high after guiding the Milwaukee Bucks to their first championship in fifty years with a thrilling victory.
Their superstar forward, Antetokounmpo, who has affectionately earned the nickname “Greek Freak,” scored a total of 50 points, pulled down 14 rebounds, and blocked five shots this week. This was a historical performance that has only been surpassed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson.

However, it was a two-year-old prophecy about Kobe Bryant that went viral on the internet.
The late Bryant tweeted in June 2019 that he believed Antetokounmpo would not only win another MVP award but also quickly become the winner of a championship.
M.V.P. Greatness, my man. 🏾 Championship is up next. #MambaMentality,” Bryant tweeted.

The home was initially purchased by Antetokounmpo, 26, in 2018 for $1.8 million (AUD$2.44 million), two years after he and the Bucks inked a four-year $100 million (AUD$135.5 million) contract deal in 2016.
According to the description, the house is described as “luxury living” and has large rooms, an open-concept kitchen, and a family room that opens to the backyard.

There is a solarium with a vaulted ceiling and a two-way fireplace on the main floor.
The main suite includes a separate bath, a huge spa bath with a walk-in shower, and two large walk-in wardrobes.
Five further bedrooms and a loft-configured bonus room are located above.
Wet bar, game room, home theater, wine cellar, exercise center, swimming pool, and separate heated garage are among the amenities.
When Antetokounmpo was eligible to enter the 2013 NBA draft, the Bucks chose him with their first-round choice. At the age of 18, he made his NBA debut on October 13, 2013.

After winning his first NBA title and being crowned the NBA Finals MVP, Antetokounmpo now had a decorated NBA resume — having already won the regular season MVP award twice, as well as the All-Star game MVP.
He has been named to the all NBA first team three times, won the Defensive Player of the Year award once, and also been named the league’s Most Improved Player.
