The Milwaukee Bucks remain one of the most consistent teams in the NBA. They currently hold fifth place in the Eastern Conference and have been on direct playoff spots for several weeks. Despite his injury, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the team’s most important offensive player this season. At an NBA All-Star game, Giannis Antetokounmpo shared his thoughts on which father-son duo could be the next to play together in the NBA.

“I hope because I like to speak things into existence. I hope I’m the next [one]. But, man. My son, my oldest son, is five… I don’t know if I got that in me, man. In 13 more years, I’ll be like 25 seasons. Hey, you never know,” stated Giannis Antetokounmpo on a video for NBA on Instagram.

Giannis Antetokounmpo does not rule out the possibility of being part of the NBA’s next father-son duo. However, he believes it is highly unlikely since he would have to wait many years for his son to reach the league.
