Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 16-year-old brother already has insane measurements
Alex Antetokounmpo already appears to be well on his way to becoming the fourth Antetokounmpo sibling to make it to the NBA.
ESPN’s Jonathan Givony reported Sunday that Alex, the 16-year-old brother of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, measured 6-foot-5 barefoot with an obscene 7-foot-2 wingspan at the Basketball Without Borders Europe camp in Belgrade, Serbia.
Giannis' 16 year old brother Alex Antetokounmpo measured 6'5 barefoot with a ridiculous 7'2 wingspan at the Basketball Without Borders Europe camp in Belgrade. Pretty sure we'll be talking more about him down the road. https://t.co/pcXBRzWLQf

Alex is the youngest of a quartet of elite basketball brothers. Besides Giannis, who is already a two-time All-Star, a two-time All-NBA selection, and the face of the Bucks at 23 years old, eldest brother Thanasis, 26, was drafted by the New York Knicks in 2014 and now stars for Panathinaikos in Greece. Middle brother Kostas, 20, was also selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of this year’s draft.
As for Alex himself, he plays shooting guard and will be a member of the 2020 recruiting class. By now, we know that freakish size runs in the family, as it was recently another Antetokounmpo brother who was wowing us with it.
