's most dominant forces on the court, but off the hardwood, he's considering an entirely different arena, live streaming.

The two popular streamers, who have built massive audiences on Twitch and YouTube, were name-dropped repeatedly as Giannis contemplated following their lead. His interest appears to be more than a passing thought, it's part of a larger trend of elite athletes exploring ways to connect with fans beyond traditional sports media.
However, not everyone in the Antetokounmpo household was sold on the idea. His wife, Mariah, quickly offered a practical perspective.
When Giannis asked why he shouldn't pursue streaming, she immediately rejected the idea, 'Because we have four kids and a lot of other responsibilities.' The couple's humorous back-and-forth continued, as Giannis tried to justify the venture by pointing out the financial upside.
'Do you know how much money they make? They make a lot of money, baby.'
Even though he already has a lucrative NBA contract— with $54 million set for the upcoming season and nearly $300 million earned in his career— Giannis seems intrigued by the challenge and creativity of streaming.
He recently returned from a vacation in Brazil and appeared refreshed and reflective, perhaps setting the stage for new endeavors during what he called 'the greatest offseason of all time.'
'Basically, I'm having my own podcast without doing nothing,' Giannis joked. 'People are out here asking me questions.' His wife quipped in response, 'Which is what streamers do, right?'

Of course, at this point, it is not clear if Giannis would actually follow on the idea of being a streamer as part of his side hustle, but Mariah is skeptical as she fears that the Greek Freak will be left with very little time for his family amid his already busy NBA schedule.
