Both Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Giannis Antetokounmpo have played together on the Milwaukee Bucks since the 2019-20 NBA season, but the two brothers had an unusual first in their relationship on Thursday.
Milwaukee is taking on the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, and a disgusting moment was caught on camera between Giannis and Thanasis prior to the game.
In a video shared by Bleacher Report, Thanasis appeared to be picking Giannis’s nose for him.

The two are known to be very close, but digging into someone else’s nose may be taking it a bit to the extreme.
This is the season-opening game for the Bucks, and they will look to potentially compete for an NBA Championship like they did two seasons ago.
They were able to make it to the second round of the playoffs last season but ran into an incredibly hot Boston Celtics team.
It is also worth noting that they were without star shooting guard Khris Middleton in that series.
Unfortunately for Milwaukee, they will also be without him to begin this season following an off-season wrist surgery.
He should be good to go in around a month, which will determine just how competitive Milwaukee will be in the Eastern Conference.
If this hilarious viral video between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Thanasis Antetokounmpo is any indication, the team chemistry in Milwaukee appears to be on point as they begin their 2022-23 NBA season.
