Fans were quick to react to the “Greek Freak” showing his cheeky side once again. The couple already shares four young children: sons Liam, 5, and Maverick Shai, 3, and daughters Eva Brooke, 1, and newborn Aria Capri.

“Making his own starting line-up,” one fan said.

“Starting a whole starting lineup at this point,” another added.

Mariah sends heartfelt message to Giannis Antetokounmpo after Bucks’ early exit

After a crushing 119-118 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, marking his third straight early postseason exit, Giannis Antetokounmpo received love from home.

His wife, Mariah, posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram featuring their family at Fiserv Forum.

She wrote:

“To my husband, look at this life you created! We love you μπαμπάς (dad). You make us proud every single day.”

Despite the heartbreaking result, Antetokounmpo delivered a monster performance: 30 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and two blocks on 9-of-17 shooting across 44 minutes.

The Bucks' collapse came at the hands of the Pacers, who closed out the series with an 8-0 run in the final 39 seconds of OT — and who now represent the East in the NBA Finals against the Thunder.

As Milwaukee looks toward a pivotal offseason, questions swirl around the future of the roster — and that of Antetokounmpo himself.
