the fact the his parents greek-cised 'adetokunbo' to antemtokumpo speaks alot

They had to... Because some alphabets in "Adetokunbo" aren't the same in the Greek alphabet.

All these people saying "yoruba making us proud" do not realize that he is half IGBO. Middle name clearly "Ugo" anyway let's stop this tribalism nonsense and just appreciate players

Tobimercy:
In the MVP race, Giannis will go up against James Harden, who will undoubtedly be given further reason to complain about rightfully losing out to Antetokounmpo for a second time, and LeBron James, who in pursuit of his fifth MVP win has been Giannis’ closest rival all season long.

LeBron is not even the best player in Lakers, you should be talking about James Harden and Luka

I laff when I see people shout Yoruba up and down. Giannis is Igbo as he is Yoruba. His brother is Kostas Ndubuisi Antetokpounmpo and Giannis has his Igbo name as Ugo. He’s a true detribalised Nigerian

These consider themselves Greeks not Nigerians. Imagine going as far as changing from Adetokumbo to Antetokompous

Check his twitter bio. He has the Nigeria flag there. He might be a Greek, that doesn't affect his "Nigerianess".

We Yorubas have claimed Hushpuppi.
He is our brother. We will not abandon him.

Yes, he is a big thief and universal yahoo boy but we Yorubas will not abandon Ramon Abbas.

He is Greek.

His country failed him when he needed her most, so let him be

How did the country fail him? Check his social media handles, he identifies as both a Nigerian and Greek.

You are wrong. His parents didn't Greek-cised the name. Most of those Yoruba alphabets don't exist in Greek language. So, when he was to get a Greek passport while going to the NBA, his Yoruba surname was spelt using Greek alphabets.

He also claims Nigeria. He even launched a Nike shoe in tribute to his Nigerian heritage.

topcatking:

He identifies as both. If he doesn't, why did he launch shoes that pay tribute to his Nigerian heritage? Check out his social media handles and see if you won't see a Nigerian flag there.
