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 |

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

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. |
