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 |

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 |
| Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo Named As Finalist For 2020 NBA MVP And DPY Of The Year by Elineska: 7:57pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
These consider themselves Greeks not Nigerians. Imagine going as far as changing from Adetokumbo to Antetokompous |

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

Nicepoker: ![]() 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. |

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

Jaymaxxy:I know that already..buy the way Nigerians claimed him is appalling |
| Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo Named As Finalist For 2020 NBA MVP And DPY Of The Year by Crispels(m): 8:08pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
martineverest: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. |
| Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo Named As Finalist For 2020 NBA MVP And DPY Of The Year by Nobody: 8:08pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
He's not Nigerias' and has never been Nigerias'! He's greek |

martineverest: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. |
