GIannis Antetokounmpo, who just won the NBA 2021 championship by also becoming MVP of the final cHe bought a portion of the Milwaukee Brewers franchise to solidify his start as an MLB investor.
The baseball team welcomed the basketball player through the team’s social networks with the following message: “Giannis Antetokounmpo has joined the crew! Two-time MVP is officially part of the Milwaukee Brewers owning team. Thank you Giannis for your commitment to our team and Milwaukee! “
While the owner of the institution, Mark Attanasio released a statement: “We are honored to have Giannis join our investor team of the Milwaukee Brewers “, and then continue with the welcome:” Giannis is a great athlete, a world champion and uA true local hero with international renown. ”
Attanasio is a major part of the baseball team he bought more than 15 years ago and since then, Antetokounmpo is the first person to inject money individually. Currently the Milwaukee Brewers have 8 1/2 games in favor in the NL Central in the majors, thanks to four wins in the last five games on the diamond.
The 26-year-old later stated that he is proud to be part of the project through a press release: “The city of Milwaukee means a lot to me. I am honored to join the Brewers Homeowners Group in furthering my commitment and dedication to this great community. I am very proud of my city and excited about what we can build together. “
It should be noted that the recent NBA champion received a five-year contract extension for $ 228 million last December with the Milwaukee Bucks, so he has plenty of money to show his love for a city that led to triumph for the first time in half a century within professional basketball in the United States.
