Giannis Antetokounmpo getting his nose picked by Thanasis in the warm-ups against the Sixers sets the internet on fire

Like any other sport, there have been plenty of siblings in the NBA playing for the same team and against each other, but the Antetokounmpo brothers are by far the most entertaining of all.
A lot of the credit for it, obviously, will go the Giannis, not just the best among the brothers but one of the best basketball players in the world, who is also #1 at dad jokes in all of America.
Generally, the man gets the fans and media by his PJs, but on the Bucks’ opening night of the 2022-23 season, he and Thanasis got them by something hilarious yet too gross for national television.
Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo make NBA World go “Yuck” as the latter went for some digging
As the Bucks MVP was getting ready before the game, his older brother, who has also been a part of the team since 2019 and plays off-the-bench, did something for his little brother which made NBA Twitter go, why?

They couldn’t decide whether it was crazy brotherly love or just plain crazy.

Maybe it’s what they did while playing in Greece, or they just came up with it to light the internet on fire, which Giannis is getting good at with the passing days.
Either way, we weren’t ready to witness a grown man pick the other one’s nose before going to bed on this exaggerating NBA opening week while having yet another workday before we could enjoy our weekend games in peace.
Just hope that it’s not the start of a pre-game ritual!
It worked though, Giannis came up with a complete performance
The 27-year-old started his 10th season in the league with somewhat decent performance for his standards, but a complete one overall. Enough for the Bucks to win the game 88-90 against the struggling Joel Embiid and his Sixers.
The 2x MVP made a statement on the opening day for Milwaukee and not only scored 21 points, and gathered 13 boards but made 3 blocks and made a steal to seal a complete performance with 8 assists as well.
This would be a wake-up call for “The Process” who would be looking to get into the MVP race with the ever-present Giannis this season, and not just content with a scoring title but get his hands on his first Larry O’Brien.
James Harden pulling his shoes up on both ends of the floor might also encourage him to do the same.
