Kostas Antetokounmpo, Giannis’ younger brother, celebrated in style on Sunday night after the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 106-93, to win the NBA Finals in six games.
During the Lakers’ celebration, Antetokounmpo was spotted holding the Greek and Nigerian flags. His older brother, Giannis, took to Twitter to congratulate him: “Congratulations @Kostas_ante13. I’m so freaking proud!! You are a NBA champ for life. Way to represent our family and our countries,” he wrote.

The 22-year-old didn’t get much playing time with the Lakers this season, but it’s fair to say it was a great opportunity for growth. The young swingman got to learn under LeBron James and be part of a Championship-winning organization.
