NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo is a first-time dad. The 25-year-old Milwaukee Bucks forward welcomed a son with longtime girlfriend Maraya.
Giannis announced the birth of his “baby Greek Freak” in a social media post on Monday. Giannis’ nickname is “Greek Freak.”

Stephen A. Smith was among the notables congratulating Giannis on the birth of his son, tweeting “Congrats Giannis!!”
Giannis’ brothers Kostas (left) and Thanasis (center) both play in the NBA. Thanasis plays for the Bucks while younger brother Kostas is reserve player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
