When the Brooklyn Nets play at the Barclays Centre, there are usually a lot of famous people in the crowd. One of the biggest football and soccer stars in the world was at the Nets game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night to watch Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the team beat them badly.
On Wednesday, Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. was in the building to see Giannis put on a show against the Nets. It did not let down the 23-year-old. From what I know, Vinicius Jr. doesn’t always back the Nets. The Brazilian has been on a bit of a tour of the United States over the holidays. His most recent stop was Brooklyn, where he probably went to see the former two-time MVP play.
As Giannis said, he gave the football player the whole package, which included his game-used shoes and a shirt that the player had signed. This is what Antetokounmpo said: Vini is the “No. 1 Brazilian player in the world.” It’s clear that the seven-time All-Star also likes the team.
While Giannis was hurt and labelled as “questionable to play” on Wednesday night, he was able to play, which was good for Vinivius. Through 30 minutes of play, Antetokounmpo looked great. He scored 32 points (10 of 12 shots), grabbed 10 boards, dished out 8 assists, and blocked 2 shots.
