Giannis Antetokounmpo has been pretty busy outside of the basketball court. He starred in a hilarious commercial with Khaby Lame, the most followed user on TikTok.
Giannis shared the clip on social media, and it shows him unsuccessfully trying to go outside and exercise. A blizzard forces him to get back home, and that’s when Lame, fully covered in snow, knocks at his door and gives him a Nex Playground Game System.
The two are then shown dancing, moving around, and even taking some free throws.
Lame has a net worth of $40 million (via Celebrity Net Worth), well over 140 million followers on TikTok, and over 80 million followers on Instagram.
Giannis Antetokounmpo addresses Bucks’ new mindset
The Bucks, a team projected to be in the top five in the Eastern Conference, started the season 2-8. Now, sitting on an 8-9 record following four consecutive wins, Antetokounmpo opened up on their previous struggles.
“I feel like going into the season, it was sloppy in the beginning,” Antetokounmpo said. “I don’t know if our confidence, if everybody’s was high — we were losing games. It’s OK. We have to figure things out, and I think now, as a team, we’ve figured things out.”
The former MVP believes his team has learned from that slump, and he’s confident things will be better from now on.
“We don’t want to feel what we felt three, four weeks ago. I don’t think anybody in this locker room wants to go back there,” he added. “It was miserable for everybody. We were coming in here and working practice three hours, four hours, trying to figure things, what was going bad. Right now, we are clicking, and we just gotta stay here.
“That doesn’t mean we’re going to win every game, but we gotta stay here. We gotta stay here as a team and keep on competing.”
Now Giannis will hope to continue this positive momentum ahead in the season.
