What does Wikipedia say about this family?

Personal life

Antetokounmpo was born in Sepolia, Athens, Greece to Nigerian parents.[18] Although he is of Nigerian descent, he does not have Nigerian citizenship.[19] He officially gained full Greek citizenship on May 9, 2013,[20] with the official legal spelling of his name being Giannis Antetokounmpo.[21] His nickname is "The Greek Freak".[22]

Antetokounmpo has two older brothers, Francis and Thanasis, as well as two younger brothers, Kostas and Alexis.[23] As a child, he and his brothers grew up with many hardships and they often took to the streets where they sold watches, sunglasses and handbags at illegal stalls.[24] He and his brother, Thanasis, were teammates in Filathlitikos, while Francis has played football professionally in Nigeria, and Kostas started playing officially for Filathlitikos during the 2013–14 season. All of the Antetokounmpo brothers have played basketball in the Filathlitikos system. The whole Antetokounmpo family moved from Athens to Milwaukee in early 2014.[25]

Thanasis was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 51st overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft and has spent time in the NBA Development League.[26] Antetokounmpo's younger brothers, Kostas and Alexis, both play school basketball in the United States.[27]
