Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is bringing his energy off the court with the launch of Giannis FR34K Gummies, a new premium gummy line created with Candy Funhouse. Known on the court as the Greek Freak, Giannis is now showing his playful side off the court with his love for sweets.

The Greek Freak, the powerhouse former two-time NBA MVP for the Milwaukee Bucks known for his explosive energy on the court, also has a sweet tooth.

In the game against the Magic, Giannis even asked for candy from the broadcast table.

The gummy line officially launched in partnership with Candy Funhouse, with Antetokounmpo’s family office joining as an investor. The gummies come in three flavors: tropical, strawberry lemonade, and mixed berry, and in three shapes: a basketball, Giannis’ smiling face, and the Candy Funhouse logo.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s love for candy

“I love candy,” Giannis commented via his interview with Forbes’ David Bloom.

“On the human level, my life sometimes is so hectic. Throughout my whole career in the NBA, I have to be so disciplined, thinking about my body, being in shape. Sometimes it gets a little bit tiring. The best athletes in the world understand it’s going to be boring doing the same thing over and over again.”

The gummies are available starting Thursday on Candy Funhouse’s website and are released under Candy Fun Street, the Canadian company’s premium candy bag platform.

Antetokounmpo faced more than the usual pressures this season. A calf strain limited the Bucks star’s time on the court, though he still put up impressive numbers, averaging 28 points, 10 rebounds, and nearly six assists in 30 games, slightly down from last year. His season was also clouded by persistent trade rumors that only ended with last week’s league deadline. Now that the Greek Freak remains in Milwaukee, he is turning his focus to business, launching his first public investment with Giannis FR34K Gummies.
