Giannis & Sons Steal the Show: The Antetokounmpo ‘Big 3’ Dominate NBA All-Star Weekend
Despite being sidelined from the NBA All-Star Game due to a calf strain, Giannis Antetokounmpo remained one of the most prominent figures throughout the weekend’s festivities. However, this time, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar had some extra help stealing the spotlight—his young sons, Liam and Maverick.
The Antetokounmpo brothers, ages 5 and 3, turned heads the moment they arrived at San Francisco’s Chase Center alongside their father. Dressed in matching sweat suits covered in images of Giannis, the boys made an entrance fitting for the children of an NBA icon. Liam confidently carried a pair of sunglasses and what appeared to be a Funko Pop! figurine, while Maverick held onto a white All-Star basketball, a fitting accessory for the son of a two-time MVP.
Throughout the weekend, Giannis made sure his kids were part of the experience. At a press conference, while reporters directed questions at the Bucks superstar, his sons stayed busy working on their dribbling skills on the sidelines. Later, inside the locker room, the NBA captured a lighthearted moment between Giannis and his sons, with the trio playfully discussing some “stinky shoes.”
Perhaps the most viral moment of the weekend came when Giannis jokingly blamed his kids for “hacking” his phone after he posted on X that he would enter the Slam Dunk Contest—if Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant did as well.
To cap off the unforgettable weekend, Giannis took to Instagram to share a heartfelt post featuring himself in his All-Star uniform alongside his two boys. He proudly referred to them as the “Big 3,” proving that while basketball is his profession, fatherhood is his greatest joy.
