- Updated: May 7, 2020
All hell broke loose on Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Twitter account on Thursday.
The reigning MVP’s Twitter account appeared to be hacked. Multiple tweets launched ill will towards Los Angeles Lakers icons Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

Since the hacking took place on Thursday afternoon, Antetokounmpo’s Twitter account has been locked.
Furthermore, the Bucks announced they will be conducting an investigation on the hacking.
Antetokounmpo, 25, is one of the current faces of the NBA.
The All-Star is putting up 29.6 points, 13.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game this season.
In addition, the forward’s stardom has propelled the Bucks to the best record in the league. As a result, he is considered the favorite for the 2020 MVP award.
While the transcendent talent can’t tweet at the moment, his brother and Lakers forward Kostas Antetokounmpo made sure to clear any confusion.
Giannis’ twitter, phone, email and bank accounts were hacked! He genuinely apologizes for everything that was tweeted and he will be back as soon as possible! The things that were said by this hacker were extremely inappropriate and disgusting!
