Adorned in White, University Red, and Bright Crimson, the “All-Star” Freak 5 signifies the Antetokounmpo brothers’ joint path, emphasizing their bond and sacrifices. A handwritten message from Giannis to Thanasis on the collar reads, “Thanasis thanks for sharing,” recalling their shoe-sharing days.
