Kostas Antetokounmpo Biography
Konstantinos Ndubuisi Antetokounmpo was born in a neighborhood called Sepolia in Athens, Greece, on November 20, 1997. His parents, Veronica Antetokounmpo and Charles, are from Nigeria. He has a Nigerian passport, which he got in June 2013 to visit the United States legally.
.In 2016, he became an official citizen of Greece. He’s the younger brother of Giannis and Thanasis, who are pro basketball players, and Francis, a pro soccer player. He’s the older sibling to Alex.
When Giannis was picked to play in the NBA, Kostas and Alex moved to Milwaukee with their parents. Kostas went to Dominican High School in Wisconsin, where he played basketball during his junior and senior years. Even though he started playing basketball with junior teams in Greece, he had an amazing senior year and helped his team win a state championship.
After high school, Kostas went to college and played basketball for the University of Dayton. In his first year there, he couldn’t play because they called him a “partial qualifier.” This happened because he spent his first two years of high school in Greece. But he finally got to play in the 2017-18 season and did really well. He’s been working hard to make a name for himself in basketball, just like his famous brothers.

However, he ended up being the very last pick of the 2018 NBA draft, chosen by the Philadelphia 76ers, but then quickly traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
Kostas signed a two-way contract on July 13, meaning he’d play for the Mavericks and their NBA G League team, the Texas Legends.
He made his NBA debut on March 20, 2019, in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. But on July 19, 2019, he was released by the Mavericks.

During that season, he played in 5 games under a two-way contract and achieved his career-high by scoring 7 points in a game against the Sacramento Kings on August 13, 2020.
He had a memorable moment in his basketball career when the Lakers won the NBA championship by defeating the Miami Heat in six games. This made him the first Greek-born player to win an NBA championship.
