Giannis Antetokounmpo will celebrate his wedding over the offseason after the Milwaukee Bucks' first-round elimination from the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The wedding is expected to be one of the biggest events in Greece this year, and NewsIT has confirmed that LeBron James is expected to be in attendance.
“In terms of guests, the number is expected to be…big! The latest information states that the great NBA star LeBron James has already accepted the invitation and will travel to Greece for the wedding of the year.” (Translated by Google)
Both former MVPs and the top two finishers of the 2020 MVP race saw their season end early in the first round this year. Giannis was out with injury as his Bucks fell in six games to a lower-seeded Indiana Pacers side, while LeBron led the Lakers in scoring as they lost in five games to the reigning champion Denver Nuggets.
The players have an open summer before the 2024 Olympics, where LeBron is expected to participate as one of the leaders of Team USA . Greece is yet to secure qualification for the Olympics, so Giannis will likely suit up in July to help his nation secure qualification, provided his calf injury has healed enough for him to compete without risk.
The date of Giannis' wedding is unknown, but it'll likely be a summer spectacle in Greece where more NBA players than just LeBron will be expected to arrive.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Will See His NBA GOAT Attend His Wedding
Most of the new generation of NBA superstars watched the likes of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James before they even came close to making the NBA. For Giannis, LeBron has always been his idol and someone he claimed was the GOAT of the sport, ahead of Michael Jordan .
“Some guys might say he is No. 2, but other guys like me, I say he is No. 1, and he’s still going.”
Antetokounmpo hails LeBron with establishing a blueprint for long-term success that the next generation of NBA players will follow.
“For 21 years, you never get in trouble, to be able to take in his family, protect this family, raise his kids the right way, you know, be happily married, all those things, it’s perfect. He’s kind of like setting the blueprint for the rest of us to go forward. That’s what I want. I want to be able to do what I do on the court consistently, be good, be healthy, be available for my team, be able to, you know, raise my family in a bubble away from what I do on the court for them to have a normal life as much as I can. Stay out of trouble."
Given how Giannis appreciates LeBron's thriving personal life as well, it's wonderful to see him finally getting married to his long-time girlfriend Mariah Riddlesprigger. They've been an internet darling for years, whether because of Giannis' inappropriate jokes or the hilarious dynamic they share.
It's great to know that when Giannis celebrates the biggest day of his life alongside the birth of his two children and probably Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals, LeBron will be there in attendance to support the Greek superstar.
