Giannis Names Packers, Cowboys, Brewers, Real Madrid among Favorite NFL, MLB, WF Teams

With all eyes on Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, the Milwaukee Bucks star took to social media overnight Saturday and answered a number of questions from fans.

During that process, he revealed he cheers for the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys in the NFL, Milwaukee Brewers in MLB, and Real Madrid in soccer after previously supporting Arsenal:

Bucks fans are sure to notice that Wisconsin is well represented with the Packers and Brewers on Antetokounmpo's list of favorite teams. After all, whether he will decide he wants to leave the state and continue his career with another team will be one of the biggest talking points in the entire NBA this summer.

Along those lines, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported Saturday that the future Hall of Famer plans to meet with the Bucks during the coming week.

"I was told the Bucks made contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo early as this morning and sources relayed to me that a meeting is expected to be scheduled for mid next week," Haynes reported. "This is where Giannis is going to have a chance to speak with Bucks brass and talk about the direction of the team."

That came in the aftermath of a report from ESPN's Shams Charania that revealed "for the first time in his career, Antetokounmpo is open-minded about exploring whether his best long-term fit is remaining in Milwaukee or playing elsewhere."

Such a report led to plenty of speculation and follow up reports with the nine-time All-Star being linked to the likes of the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and more.

To this point in his career, Antetokounmpo has been nothing but loyal to the Bucks. He also has two more years on his contract before a 2027-28 player option, although leaving Milwaukee may be his best chance to compete for a championship in the immediate future since Damian Lillard could miss the upcoming season with a torn Achilles.

Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis are also among the Bucks players who could hit free agency this offseason, meaning the team may be a step behind the other Eastern Conference contenders even if Antetokounmpo stays.

That would be difficult for Bucks fans, but at least they could continue cheering for the Packers and Brewers alongside the superstar.
