Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t only one of the most dominant NBA players right now, but also one of the funniest. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar has never hidden his true self and doesn’t care who likes or dislikes his decision; he’s true to himself and that’s all that matters.
Having a night off with the Bucks, Giannis took the opportunity and attended a concert where nobody would expect him to show up. While other players are diehard rap fans, Antetokounmpo likes to vibe listening to English singer Harry Styles and didn’t miss his chance to see the 27-year-old on stage on Wednesday night.
The Greek Freak revealed on Twitter that he attended the show and it was “99% of women” and him. Still, he praised the singer for his show and called him a great performer.
I just went to @Harry_Styles concert and it was 99% women and me 😂. I’m a big fan, what a great performer.

NBA fans reacted to this, congratulating Giannis for listening to music that not every NBA player would embrace so shamelessly. Some even joked that him attending the show was bad for the rest of the fans since he’s a 7-footer in front of regular-sized people.

People may not like Harry Styles but they should respect you being your self. We all like things that are not what people think we wouid like. The coolest people are the ones who dont try to act cool they just do not care what people think.

It’s really cool to see fans encouraging Giannis to be himself and the 2021 NBA champion surely values that. He has been really great with supporters, meeting with them after the Bucks won the title last season, joking and staying humble regardless of all the success he’s had in his career.
Giannis is different and you love to see it. Harry Styles’ fans even predicted he would get more fans after that tweet so that the Bucks could be getting a lot of support in recent days.
On the other hand, Harry enjoyed his time in Wisconsin and even rocked a Cheesehead to support the Green Bay Packers. It was definitely a terrific night for both superstars. Now Giannis will get back to work to lift the Milwaukee Bucks after a complex start to the season.
