I suggest that, instead of looking up the spelling everytime we want to make a comment about Giannis Antetokounmpo, we, henceforth, refer to Giannis Antetokounmpo as GiAnt, or the Greek Giant

  I have the same name as him, and EB is right. Actually the correct way to write the same is Yiannis not Giannis. By the way the English translation of the name is John

  No, I’m saying to kobyz that if he’s gonna call a black man an “N-I-G-G-E-R” because he’s “from the hood”, why would he call the one black guy in this draft who is from Greece (clearly NOT the hood) that word? Of all the black guys in this draft? I’m saying that his ignorant statement didn’t even make sense.

    Ok dude, it just sounded a bit sketchy at first but I get where you’re coming from. Hopefully you can see both sides of the coin and understand how it could be taken that way. My mistake. Topics of racial bias like the case with most strike a nerve with me, so I apologize for my offensive remarks.
    Note to Kobyz: You see how me and ProudGrandpa are talking? This is how real Men converse with one another. Too bad you know nothing about that…

Adetokunbo in Yoruba South West Nigeria means royalty born overseas, so maybe something with King, Prince or royalty might be nice..
