SUMMARY
- Recent reports claimed that Kylian Mbappe plans on recruiting Ethan Mbappe to Real Madrid.
- NBA Fans began comparing the duo to Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has set up a legendary legacy for himself in the NBA. Not too many individuals have had the chance to boast an NBA title, two MVP awards, and a DPOY title by the age of 29. But Antetokounmpo has accomplished it all so far. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar is bound to win more accolades in the years to come, but his elder brother doesn’t have the same outlook as he does.
Recently, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s brother, Thanasis has been a target for internet trolls. Thanasis has never shown the potential Giannis has with several embarrassing flops and fails. As much as they love basketball, both brothers also like soccer. And in the world of soccer, another sibling duo is set to form in Europe. Recently, Real Madrid revealed that they were planning to bring Kylian Mbappe’s younger brother to the roster along with the former Paris Saint-Germain player.

NBA Fans began comparing the potential pairing to Giannis and Thanasis. One fan said, “Thanasis of soccer?” And another fan added, “Nah Steph and Seth.” Unlike the Antetokounmpo brothers, Stephen Curry has never been on the same team as his younger sibling, Seth.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo had a great impact on Giannis Antetokounmpo
Amidst all the internet trolling, Thanasis has been showered with a lot of love from his brother and teammates. Earlier, Bucks point guard Damian Lillard pointed out that Thanasis has had way more impact than what meets the eye. Similarly, even Giannis Antetokounmpo claims that the 31-year-old has had far more impact on his life than anybody else.
Giannis spoke to ClutchPoints saying, “My brother, Thanasis. I am the man that I am because of him. Not even close. This guy is… If you could mold the perfect brother. he has to be up there.” He added, “I wouldn’t be even close to the man that I am today. I’m not even going to say the player. Who cares about the player? I’m talking about the man, as a father, as a person.” Thanasis certainly has the talent, which is why he was recruited by the NBA in the first place.
Just like Giannis, Kylian Mbappe looked out for Ethan Mbappe
Much like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kylian Mbappe is also looking out for his brother. According to One Football, it was Mbappe senior and his family that requested Real Madrid to sign Ethan to his first professional contract. Journalist Eduardo Inda claimed, “It is a subject added to the pre-contract, which would not call into question this one.”

The Mbappé family have reached an agreement with the Spanish side to make this happen. PSG have no say in the matter as both players will be free agents.

India added, “The family of Mbappé and Mbappé asked Real Madrid a few days ago to recruit his brother Ethan Mbappé. Real thought about it and, ultimately, said yes.” While Madrid has not officially signed Ethan, the acquisition is being discussed. Kylian has confirmed that he will play for the Spanish team. Ethan played for PSG’s U-19 team before this scoring 4 goals and recording 5 assists in 25 appearances. The 17-year-old is claimed to be great at his sport as well.
