Charles and Veronica Antetokounmpo emigrated to Greece when the father finished his career as a professional footballer. The only son they had then, Francis , stayed a while longer in Nigeria and would be the only one who would follow in the father's footsteps. The following four of the saga were already born in Hellenic lands and changed the ball: Giannis is now the current NBA MVP, Thanasis is his teammate in Milwaukee, Kostas plays in the Lakers and Alex will start his career in Spain. The youngest of the Antetokounmpo has signed a three-season contract with UCAM Murcia.

If all goes well, he will be the second brother to play in the Endesa League and the third to go through Spain. Thanasis, the oldest, spent a season at MoraBanc Andorra after a failed first attempt at the NBA. And Giannis, the great star, came to have a signed contract with Basket Zaragoza. The sporting director, Willy Villar , gave him the tie the day after his 18th birthday, but six months later, when he had to join the Maño team, he was chosen in the first round of the draft. The rest is being history.

Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas play in two of the big favorites for the NBA title. The former is one of the emblems of the league. The other two, being generous, are very minor actors. Of Alex they say that he has a bright future, although it is not known how far brotherly love reaches. The physique comes from caste: at 18 he measures 2.02 and has a wingspan of 2.18. The rest, they say, is about to be polished.

Three seasons

Alex Antetokounmpo has finished his training career at Dominican High School averaging 20 points and 7 rebounds. The specialized pages did not place him in the top 100 of his class and only modest universities like Ohio or Wisconsin-Green Bay had been interested in him when he announced last month that he would look for a team in Europe. And there enters UCAM Murcia.

The youngest of the Antetokounmpo has signed a three-season contract with the Murcian club. In the first, the quarry will alternate with the first team that Sito Alonso now trains and the expectation is that in the next two he will join the Endesa League team. Who knows if, like his three brothers, he is on his way to the NBA.
