Former Milwaukee Bucks guard Jeff Teague revealed on The Draymond Green Show that Giannis Antetokounmpo is extremely close to his brother Thanasis to the point where he relies on him heavily.
Teague shared a story about how Thanasis being unable to be with the team due to Covid when they were down 0-2 in a series affected Giannis’ performance significantly. He emphasized the unique connection between the two brothers, suggesting that Giannis struggles to function or play without Thanasis.
According to Teague, Thanasis made a quick recovery from Covid and his presence on the team brought a certain energy and value that was essential for their success.
Despite being criticized online for his performance, Thanasis played a crucial role in supporting Giannis and the team, especially during challenging moments.
Teague highlighted Thanasis’ contagious energy and positive impact on the team, emphasizing how much he mattered and made a difference in their performance.
