The relationship between Giannis Antetokounmpo and the city of Milwaukee it couldn’t be tighter than it is right now, especially after the NBA title won last month after 50 years of waiting. Yet the Bucks star has decided to engage even more in the club: following a move already made by several other stars in the past, the MVP of the last Finals has decided to buy a minority stake in the Milwaukee Brewers, the city’s baseball franchise. It was since 2005 that the property chaired by Mark Attanasio did not allow an individual investor to join the group, but for Antetokounmpo an exception was made, reaching an agreement last May and keeping the news confidential so as not to be distracted from the playoffs. “For me it’s unbelievable,” the two-time MVP said at a press conference. “This is a dream come true for a boy from Sepolia, Athens, born to immigrant parents. I could never have imagined being in this position. Milwaukee made me who I am, this is my home. Here I became a father, leader and champion, and I want to be involved as much as possible in the community. I know that Milwaukee has invested a lot in me, and now it’s my turn to invest in the city“.
“They immediately took me to a game, and then I know Christian Yelich who is a great player“. The Brewers right now are first in NL Central with eight and a half games ahead of their rivals, and according to what Attanasio said about 20 players of the team were present at the Fiserv Forum for game-6 of the Finals – the match in which Antetokounmpo scored 50 points to bring the title back to the city. “We are trying to keep the karma that Giannis and his companions created with us. We are honored to have him with us: he is a great athlete, a champion and a true hero of our city known all over the world “.
