Thanasis used to let Giannis wear his shoes to go play basketball when they were in Greece so of course he go do everything he possibly can to make sure his brother good

People talk about Thanasis, but forget that D Rose got his brother signed to Adidas and he didn't even play in the league or basketball in general. At least Thanasis actually is a player and plays every now and again.

I respect Giannis for doing that. No matter what you think about Thanasis, he was the man who inspired Giannis to play basketball, even shared his shoes with Giannis when they were younger so that he could get a chance to play too. The definition of not leaving the ones who rooted for you behind. He is one of the few people in the world that would stick by him with or without this.

@pineapplegamer6986 Месяц назад

I’m almost sure getting thanasis into the deal actually takes away money overall because Giannis can make more money by himself but he’s forcing companies to add his brother to the deal so companies probably give much lesser deals to account for the fact thanasis won’t sell well. But if Giannis really only cares about the principal of it instead of making money that’s as real as it gets

I 100% respect what he did, we have no idea the way they grew up before the NBA. People not liking this most likely won't understand it because they didn't grew up as close with their siblings.

Getting signed to a shoe deal doesn't necessarily mean "Signature shoe deal" lol. His cheap deal ended in 2017, he became a sneaker free agent, so that year other sneaker companies were trying to sign him. He even made a video that year showing Adidas sending him a truck full of Yeezys, but he decided to sign with Nike again & got his own signature shoe line.

No, they sign these cheap shoe deals & constantly get shoes from those companies they sign with when needed.
