Biografie

Forward/Guard for the Milwaukee Bucks (2013-prsent).

Greece's Flagbearer for the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games Opening Ceremony.

Holds both Greek citizenship (since 2013) and Nigerian citizenship (since 2015).

The official spelling of his surname, "Antetokounmpo", comes from the Greek transcription of the Nigerian surname of Yoruba origin "Adetokunbo". In modern Greek, the sound "d" is rendered by the digraph "nt", the sound "b" is rendered by the digraph "mp", and the sound "u"/"oo" is rendered by the digraph "ou". After gaining Greek citizenship, his official surname became the Greek transcription of "Adetokunbo", which was then transliterated letter-for-letter and officially romanized as "Antetokounmpo". The Greek pronunciation of his surname can vary between "Adetokubo" and "Andetokumbo".
