“I’ve had success on the pitch and I continue to work harder every day to improve, but I know it’s also important to be successful off the pitch. Ante, Inc. is just the beginning. My family is building a business we can be proud of. I’ve had the privilege of learning from professionals who understand what it means to build success off the pitch, and it’s time for me and my family to start that.”, for his part declared Giannis Antetokounmpo.
