There were some trade proposals encouraging Giannis Antetokounmpo to go to a big market team and get his bag there. The Milwaukee Bucks already made a hard stance about keeping the Greek Freak and any teams who would want to have him might have another competition.

That competition is not related to basketball.
Antetokounmpo held a Tiktok live and there, he was in awe of how many people were watching him on screen that he instantly dreamt of becoming a streamer.
“People are out here asking me questions,” he said in the live where he was joined by his wife Mariah Riddlespringer.
“This is what streamers do, right?” the wife responded.
The mention of “streamer” alone woke something up in Giannis. He then called on popular names in streaming sites to help him out.

“Should I start streaming? iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, man, help a brother out!,” he said.
KaiCenat is the top streamer on Twitch while iShowspeed has been all over the world because of his streaming on Youtube where he has 40 million subscribers.
The question for Giannis though is what will be his niche in the streaming world.

His last contract was a five-year, $228 million extension and will end on 2028.
Antetokounmpo, of course, is just joking with his fans on that Tiktok Live. He likes goofing around. Maybe that can be his niche in the streaming world.
