Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo responds to former president Donald Trump questioning his Greek heritage. 

He had this to say about Trump's comments following the Bucks game on Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

“I'm not aware of the comments,” said Antetokounmpo. 

"At the end of the day, I don't follow politics that much. And the little that I follow, I try to keep my political views to myself and my family. I'm here to, you know, win basketball games and not answer to non-basketball questions. But, I wish both candidates best of luck."

For those unaware of Trump's comments, here's what he said about Antetokounmpo and his Greek heritage at his Friday rally at the Bucks arena, the Fiserv Forum. 

“And tell me who has more Greek in him? The Greek or me?” Trump asked the crowd. “I think we have about the same, right? He is some.”

Antetokounmpo was born in Athens, Greece, and is of Nigerian descent.
