Giannis Antetokounmpo fires back at Stephen A. Smith’s comments about him

In a post to his Instagram Story on Sunday, Antetokounmpo responded to Smith’s comments. Antetokounmpo reposted a message from a fan that read, “Giannis went from selling sunglasses on a beach in Greece to a multi-millionaire who won a championship without having to run to a superteam. He has over-achieved his wildest dreams and anyone who thinks otherwise is ridiculous.”

Antetokounmpo added a couple of “100” emojis as well as a fire emoji to a screenshot of the post.

Indeed, Antetokounmpo’s legacy is secure no matter what, especially after leading the Bucks, the team that drafted him, to the 2021 NBA title as the Finals MVP. Antetokounmpo is also a two-time league MVP, a nine-time All-Star, and a Defensive Player of the Year winner at just 30 years old.

It is also well-documented too that Antetokounmpo grew up in poverty in Greece along with his four brothers. Antetokounmpo himself has spoken about how they often went hungry during childhood, so it is safe to say The Greek Freak’s story is one of astounding success, no matter what any hot-take pundit tries to say.
