Giannis Antetokounmpo has won two MVPs in the last five seasons and has been an MVP candidate every year that he hasn’t won it. But it seems that his skills aren’t limited to just basketball, he’s good with a soccer ball at his feet too.
He recently shared a video on Instagram showing off his juggling skills with the soccer ball, doing tricks. In the caption, he claimed he had managed to do 500 while also making a hilarious joke in the process.
“497 498 499 500 Saudi Pro League still need strikers?!” Giannis wrote in his social media post.
The Saudi Professional League is the official soccer league in Saudi Arabia, and they have recently been investing heavily to make the league bigger. Names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and N’Golo Kante have moved to the league already, and that seems to be what the Greek Freak is making jokes about it.
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly earning a whopping $210 million a year playing in Saudi Arabia, with Karim Benzema has also been given a similar contract. Even for NBA players, that is a lot of money. To put it into perspective, that is more than four times what the NBA’s highest earner, Stephen Curry, will earn next season. No wonder this has become such a big talking point in the soccer world.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Previously Offered Lionel Messi And Cristiano Ronaldo His Goalkeeping Services
Giannis Antetokounmpo has referred to himself as a striker, but in the past, he has called himself a goalkeeper. The Greek Freak hilariously reached out to the best soccer players in the world on social media, offering his services to them.
“I was just sitting on my couch scrolling through For You page. Messi, Ronaldo, and Benzema. If you’re looking for a goalie for next season, let me know.”
If Giannis Antetokounmpo sees through his current contract, he will have made $335 million in NBA salary. He is due to become a free agent in 2026 at the age of 32, when he surely gets another massive contract, likely worth over $300 million. In the meantime, though, a stint in the Saudi Pro League might not be the worst idea for Giannis either.
