Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t shy about the things he loves – basketball, smoothies, and Chik-fil-A in no particular order. Wednesday night, he added Harry Styles to the list and the NBA superstar’s fans absolutely adored him for it.
After leading the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA championship since 1971, earning Finals MVP and celebrating by ordering a 50 count of Chick-n-Minis, Giannis is off to another great start this season. But Wednesday was an off-day for The Greek Freak, so what did the 26-year-old superstar decide to do with the free night? He was back at his home arena for the Harry Styles concert.
Giannis tweeted about the event late Wednesday night, joking that 99 percent of the concert’s attendees were women, but the NBA star confessed he’s a big fan of Styles. Twitter was ecstatic to learn The Greek Freak is a Styler, with one fan even sharing a glimpse of Giannis vibing at the concert.

This was not the first time the Bucks superstar proved he was a lover of Styles’ music. Last year, Giannis went on Instagram Live, dancing and singing to One Direction hits with an infectious smile on his face.

Marred by the superteam era, NBA fans longed for a loyal superstar who wasn’t afraid to make a dormant franchise relevant, and Giannis became their perfect hero. It’s not easy for a 6-foot-11 NBA star making $228 million to be relatable, but thanks to his wholesome personality, dad jokes, and affinity for Harry Styles, Giannis is almost universally loved.
