Giannis Antetokounmpo looked up at the BMO Harris Bradley Center stands on Monday night and could see his dad, Charles, and mom, Veronica — and his younger brothers, Kostas and Alexandros, cheering wildly for the Bucks, too♥️

The rookie for the Milwaukee Bucks had been anticipating this moment all season.

 On Monday night, Giannis Antetokounmpo was able to see his mother, Veronica, and father, Charles, as he looked up in the fans at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.  Additionally, Kostas and Alexandros, his younger siblings, were enthusiastically supporting the Bucks.

 Even better, Giannis and his family could return to their flat after the game.

 Thanks to a protracted but fruitful round of diplomacy headed by JoAnne Anton, special assistant to Bucks owner Herb Kohl, his parents and brothers arrived from Greece on Sunday and were here to stay.

To what extent was Giannis thrilled to visit his relatives?

 Let him explain.

 "All of it together... We're back together, and they get to see me, which makes me very happy," he remarked.

 "Being a football player, my dad helped me improve my footwork.  Additionally, he gave me mental coaching on how to play hard and stay in the game.

 "I no longer need to worry about nothing.  Not what I intend to consume.  Nothing.  or what I intend to dress in.  Nothing.

Giannis finished with 15 points, three rebounds, and two assists in the Bucks' 101-98 victory over the New York Knicks, demonstrating the excitement in his play as well.

 "His energy is totally different," stated Larry Drew, the coach of the Bucks, on Tuesday.  "I believed he was in attack mode the entire time he was playing the game last night.

 "I am aware that he was thrilled to see his parents.  It was merely visible to me.  Being near him and hearing him speak had a certain aura.  I was asked about his brother by him.  Although I didn't meet him until last night after the game, he's a tall 16-year-old.

Drew was referring to Kostas, Giannis' brother.  Since they first met 11 months ago, when the Bucks were scouting Giannis prior to the draft, Kostas has grown by at least 2 inches, according to Bucks general manager John Hammond.

 She was "proud to be able to help" the process, according to Anton, who worked on immigration problems for Kohl while he was in the U.S. Senate.

 Giannis is a foreign athlete employed in the United States with a P-1 Visa.

 Giannis' father, Charles, was granted a P Visa for Support Personnel by the U.S. Embassy in Greece because he was able to help Giannis emotionally and mentally and help him improve in his preferred sport.

Their father originally gave Thanasis, their older brother, instruction.

 In addition to being eligible for the 2014 NBA draft, Thanasis is currently playing for the Delaware 87ers in the NBA Development League.

 Kostas, 16, Alexandros, 12, and Giannis' mother, Veronica, are all eligible for the same support visa.

 The family is now able to move in and become used to Milwaukee.  Additionally, they won't have to stay up as late as they did in Athens to watch Giannis' games.
