How BAD is Thanasis Antetokounmpo Actually? 

Unless your bro is 6foot 7 he would stand no chance !!

Bro had to bring out his 15 years old brother rather than himself

Yeah right. Same kind of people saying they could beat Scalabrine but got smoked 🤣

@@ciaolecrack4968 bro maybe weaker than his brother or i may say that he's not even hoopin

He's still a very good basketball player, would probably beat a lot of G-Leaguers and nearly all D1 players 1 on 1. Even if your 15 year old brother is a solid basketball player hes probably not even close to Thanasis. NBA players are diff bruh

fr Lol

lol but you left out the most valuable stat: hold-me-back (Of The Year)

He also averages more money than you for doing nothing

That's called a cheerleader

still gets 2 mil doing absolutely nothing lil bro

🤣

Top 5 seems harsh. Surely top 3 at least.

definitely top 2, just barely behind jokic.

The best player in the league*

top 1 player according to myself

definitely a better seat warmer than haslems last years with the heat!

Exactly. Keeping a 2 time MVP and finals MVP happy with the brotherly moral support is comparable to 4th or 5th option on the team if you ask me. Increasing your odds of winning is more than just about on-court contributions. These players in fact spend 90% of their time outside of the actual games

@@BRBallin1 People don't understand one thing... all the Antetokoumpo brothers have said that Thanassis is like their second father... he was the oldest brother so he pretty much raised them along with their parents... he was the one that took all the punches for them when they were kids, he threw himself into the fire for them toi make sure that they would never be harmed and there is nobody in the world that they respect more than Thanassis... I'm Greek and the Antetokoumpo brothers had given a long interview some years ago and Thanassis showcases his biggest talent... his morality and his view of life... to the average fan looking at him playing basketball might mean nothing to him but Thanassis is one of the WISEST men you'll ever find... he views life so clearly out of the hardships he had to endure... he famously said "People ask me why I'm smiling and laughing all the time like an idiot (not as an insult)... I tell them, I had nothing to smile about growing up, every day was worse than the previous one... so now that I have a good life I've made a promise to myself that I'll never stop smiling cause now my life is blessed, my family is happy and I don't have to worry about our survival anymore" Thanassis Antetokoumpo is invaluable because he's pretty much the moral compass and the unofficial therapist of Giannis and pretty much anyone who has enough brains to sit down and listen to him...

a good stripper could keep Giannis happy for less money

Yeah I agree

He ain't a scrub because he's 7ft

@@OhSoNasty 5 inches off 7ft isn't seven feet, if i was 5'7 I wouldn't be calling myself a 6 footer

His career raw and advanced stats are worse or on par with Kwame Brown's. His Euroleague numbers are pretty much the same. He's as scrubby as scrubs get.

@@BonkerSam79 You can be 6ft in your heart

Aye, that's why the Knicks tried to grab him. When they first left him, Giannis wasn't as big of a star.

It's honestly the most logical and sensible thing to do. If that's what it takes, that's what it takes.

Exactly. How often does the 13-14th guy on the bench ever play anyway? Who else would fill that spot that would make a noticeable difference? Very, very small price to pay to keep Giannis happy.

Hornets left the chat ( lamelo / Gelo )

@@PANCHOSWAY Yah, but Lamelo isn't a top 3 player in the league and I bet Lavar wanted a big contract for Gelo

He still sucks😂

@@user-bz6ql1dm9jHe still better than you think about that😂😂😂😂

@@user-bz6ql1dm9jin basketball yes but the akumpo brothers will always take their family over a career and besides he’s making more money than most of the people in the comments they’re living quite well

Live is not just abous b ball man.. if i have a good brother for live.. and i can support him.. then i will❤

What does that have to do with hooping ? You can support someone who took care of you without wasting a roster spot 😅

I can propably shoot better than him lol 🤣

Fax that's why I cant say bad to him..

Fair enough but the fact is, many a foreign player and g leaguers would smoke him.

xD He would still smoke the Professor 1 vs 1

@@lucaswalker7271oh that makes all the difference stick to spectating lil buddy 😂

Your logic is that he deserves all these good things simply because his brother, Giannis, is there too? Are you a child lol?

@@littylit444nepotism

​@@littylit444 well look, if i had to bring in some bum so that i could keep a generational and a top 2 player forever then I'm willing to do it No Matter What

@@littylit444 Look at you going on social media with a fake name and insulting people to make you feel better. What a pal you must be.

He doesn't "deserve" this. He's hogging up the spot that some better player could be using.

So his presence is a passive stat, like an aura for his brother. I like that +5 overall stat.

Like a support buff from your priest from some RPG game. Well thought out, my friend.

sensational feed

exactly.... even the knicks knew it, lakers too😂

Cough cough kawhi and Paul George cough

@@thegascompany1051you know kawhi hasn’t missed a game all season right? 😂😂

he hasnt played in like 2 weeks@@rell3996

He’s definitely not the worse…there are players with worse stats/efficiency that receive more mins of playing time than him…at best he’d either be out of the league, g-league, or on a minimum contract like a 10-day or 1/2 year. All would depend on what team he’s on. He can still be a contributor despite his age. Loads of opportunities as well as more playing time for 3 and D type of players. He’d have to aggressively work on that 3 point shot…but with his brother being Giannas there’s really no incentive to compete/get better.

Coming for lebrons record he just needs to stay in the league for another 300 years and keep his production the same

@@giannispatras71 we might be laughing right now, but guess who will be laughing in the year 2346? 🐐

@@colinclean46 thanasis the goat

​ exactly wont be laughing when im 363 years old and hell finally break 20000 points

Hundreds of points… how many players come and go that don’t do anything near that make a video for them

He was bluffing. He wouldn’t have left the league bro

Make leave to different teams but not nba dude, too much to moneys losses .

He was leaving, he even said he was struggling massivly and wanted to be with family bec he was alone@@jtothac5364

@@jtothac5364the fact people actually believe that is crazy

​@@jtothac5364Exactly people actually think dude was really leaving the league for real

He’s not signed because of what he does on the court, but what his brother does in the court.

i will admit. this is him finding a use as hed not be signed without his brother

yet he's found a use and hes extreamly good at that role@@danparish1344

He ain't doing shit bro, c'mon now, what player in their right mind would respect that man to be held accountable by him. He is trash, the only reason he is in the team is his brother. Everybody knows this. The first few years nobody was talking about it but now he has become the laughing stock of the nba. And yes he is holding the team back. That roster place belongs to a young prospect that could actually hoop and has potential. Not to a dude that abuses his brothers power and fame to be in a championship contender team and clap and chear from the sidelines. They should offer him a trainer position or smth if he has to be around his brother. No self respect for that dude smh. Right now he is the worst player in the nba by far.

Whole lot of typing for a awlful take. the whole league knows that if theirs no salery cap that giannis is 1 of maybe 3/4 players who'd get tons and tons more, signing a guy whos useful for the bench and training who also makes the best player happy and willing to stay. way better idea than signing somebody who'll you'd never use. he's taking the 15th space not the 6-8th where u have the "young prospects"@@alepouG

You couldn’t be more wrong lol. “All end of bench players suck”. I know multiple nba players and I can assure you that they don’t suck. The worst player on any roster would be the best player you’ve ever seen if they walked into your local gym. They might not be Lebron but they are a lot closer to Lebron than you are to them.

@@jtothac5364of course he doesn’t suck in the context of a local gym but he does suck in the context of the NBA full of the best athletes in the world, this really doesn’t need to explained. No need to nitpick and ignore the rest of the comment anybody with a brain can infer that

@@jtothac5364What you’re saying is true but there’s a difference between being a good NBA Player and a good Basketball player. The competition level in the NBA is different. Not every kid you knew in the neighborhood who could hoop was ready to face off against 7 footers who can dribble and shoot. Good Role players in the NBA are still world class talent, in this context, Thanasis isn’t anything special. He isn’t NBA caliber but is kept around because he’s a good influence for the young guys and pretty much keeps Giannis in Milwaukee

​@@jtothac5364I always expect this dumb ass comment when discussing pro athletes in relation to other pro athletes. Just because someone can dominate regular people doesn't mean they don't suck when we are discussing that level of competition.

I’ll never understand why spectators can work up the nerve to call a professional athlete trash, even if they aren’t the best, Thanasis would wash every mf in this comment section

What happened with the hagia sofia bro?

Still small

@@3n3j0t4 and stick to spectating, you’ve never touched a rock in your life 😂

The fact that he provides one of the best value as a player with all his intangible off-court stuff makes me respect his role immensely. He’s easily the best value you can get out of a 3rd string player (given that Giannis is in the team too)

Bc he knows he's Useless n worthless 😂😂😂

Good bodyguard

@@sportsphere gotta protect his bro like he’s the president.

He might need to stroke something else if he gets kicked out of the league and gets no check.

He got Giannis playing basketball instead of soccer like he wanted to play dummies

It’s like Robin and Brook lol

not even remotely true, terrible analogy. If he were as bad as Giannis is good he would be a 68 year old with 2 bad knees who has never played ball before lmao

@@chase5298if you scale it to the NBA though, Giannis is top 3 and Thanasis is bottom 3

​@@ItsYuhBoyyyythis. 👍

yin and yang keeps the universe in balance

That’s what you would think. But judging by every time he gets minutes like when starters are rested he drops 20. I think if he got on the pistons or pacers he would be a good bench player

Nah not even that. He doesn’t have those. Udonis was 15x the player this guy is. He’s only on a roster because of his brother

Udonis in his prime is a solid starter.. Thanasis would not be in any NBA team roster unless Giannis is there..🤣🤣🤣

Lay of the pipe, Udonis was a solid starter and a massive piece during Miami’s first championship. There is no comparison between these two.

anyone who thinks that this guy had a free ride in life is incredibly ignorant . Anyone who know their story and the fact that thanasis probably suffered the most in their family , are so happy that life rewarded him for fighting through that . Sure 99% of people wont live a life like the one that he does now , however 99% of people wont have the hard life that he had prior to the success

People are bored that's why they do this analysis sh*t

Kid did you even watch the video? 🤡💀

37% on 1.6 attemps is not very good lol

@sadworldwide for euroleague is good.For Thanassis at that time compared to his previous year and playing professional first time was excellent and promising for the future...

In reallity, if we keep the nonsense that most NBA fns say about Thanasis, he was a really good player in Europe. He was playing for one of the top3 European teams ever and he had offered a lot to that team. He was better at 3points than Giannis and he was a killer defender!! NBA fans are VERY disrespectful, for both brothers. Even Giannis gets a lot of hate and all that, just because they are both GREAT guys first, and great athletes in the same time. Giannis, is THE best Basketball player of his generation and since he 's broken so many K.Abdul Jabaar, Michael Jordan, and all those legend's records, it means that he will end his career, as "at ;east" top 20 Best players EVER. Eat that haters!!!

Doesn’t have the talent like Gianni’s. Genetics/talent matters. David Robinson didn’t start playing until late, so did Embiid, and a few other great nba players. They had the talent meanwhile Thanasis isn’t talented

He needed coaches that would know how to develop his game.

bum ass 🤣🤣

Thanasis is there for locker room energy.

ThanASSis lmao

I agree at his peak he give dramond energy

Kostas plays for a great Euroleague power, Panathinaikos. Day by day he is becoming better. Even though he's young he is a master rebounder and defender already

😂😂😂

If dunking is one of his top three skills he’s probably not a good player…

Yep, he stayed with the grandparents back in Nigeria. Isn't he a (former?) soccer player in Nigeria or something?

@@zoradelaney9412 he used to play as well for Sparta FC in Greece, a second division club owned by Dimitris Giannakopoulos [current Panathinaikos B.C. president] but unfortunately got dissolved. He also done some songs ru-vid.com?search_query=francis+antetokounmpo+song

@@alitoroganan2442 you know what, you have a big point there 🤣

Personality? No he just is nowhere near as good as Giannis gtfoh.

Kostas Adetokumbo is not that bad as a 5. He's actually good. The Lakers did a mistake not developing him

It’s understandable but there good guys and Giannis won the city a chip so it’s fair to say

@@jomantis5 come again?

@@0maxk_ Well we shouldn't make excuses for nobody. I think its wrong that money and prestige can control so many aspects of life. Even tho i like giannis, supreme dude. Still this will always be a taint in his legacy. At least for me and how i value things, other surely disagree and don't care- i care about the human aspect. I hate it and yet embrace it

@@cheese3enjoyer I agree money shouldn’t mean everything but it’s the world we live in and there’s worse cases of nepotism than this one.
