NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo has expressed his interest in a career away from basketball.

The Milwaukee Bucks player is considered to be one of the most dominant players in NBA history and is gearing up for his 13th year in the league.

But since helping the Bucks win a championship in 2021, Antetokounmpo has not been able to get past the second round. Recent reports suggest the star man could depart from Milwaukee, with his future well and truly up in the air.

The two-time MVP is loved by fans for his active and honest social media presence, interacting with fans on a regular basis and loving nothing mroe than having a laugh and a joke with them.

And in one recent video, Antetokounmpo expressed his desire to start venturing in to the streaming industry (think Kick, Twitch) and has called for help from two of the best streamers on the planet: Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed.

He was on the video with his wife, who suggested the live video Antetokounmpo was doing is like streaming.

To which, he said: "Should I start streaming?"

His wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, was not pleased with the suggestion and reminding the NBA player that he had four children and other responsibilities.

However, Antetokounmpo continued speaking about streaming on his video and shouted out for help from Cenat and Speed.

"IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat help you're brother out, I want to start streaming," said Antetokounmpo.
