Giannis Antetokounmpo is looking forward to “the greatest offseason of all time,” and he’s calling on IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat to help him.
As seen in a recent social media clip currently making the rounds, and seemingly pulled from the Milwaukee Bucks’ TikTok account, Giannis is curious about potentially stepping into the streaming space. While it’s not entirely clear from the clip alone whether the 2024 NBA Cup MVP is genuinely considering becoming a full-fledged streamer, he’s clearly excited and impressed by what others are doing with the format.
“I’m having so much fun this summer,” Giannis, joined by his wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, said. “It’s gon’ be the greatest offseason of all time, yeah.”
From there, Giannis said that making videos together while fielding questions from fans felt like “having my own podcast,” ultimately leading to the streamer proposition.
“Should I start streaming?” Giannis asked, with Mariah playfully advising against it.
“Alright, so Speed, Kai Cenat,” Giannis added. “Man, help a brother out.”
Mariah, again playfully, proceeded to point out that they have four children “and a lot of other responsibilities” to attend to at the moment. But Giannis couldn’t be swayed.
“I’ve seen them, how they do,” he said of Speed and Kai. “They’re actually really good at it, engaging. They’re very good. … Why is that not right for me? Do you know how much money they make? They make a lot of money, baby.”
Giannis isn’t the only star to publicly ponder a streamer-ification of their place in the zeitgeist. ComplexCon 2025 performer Young Thug, albeit jokingly, recently said that he was going to “stop doing music” and “start streaming” instead.
