Giannis Antetokounmpo and His Three Brothers to Appear at The 45th National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago

Miguel Cabrera, Roger Clemens, Jim McMahon and Ron Harper Also Appearing at the World’s Largest and Greatest Sports Trading Card Collectibles Event, this July

ROSEMONT, IL, UNITED STATES, April 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Sports Collectors Convention, Inc., along with talent partner TriStar Productions, today announced that Milwaukee Bucks star Power Forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo and brothers Alex, Kostas, Thanasis will join the already long and still growing list of celebrities and athletes appearing in various capacities in the Tristar Autograph Pavilion at the 45th National, to be held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois this July 30th through August 3rd. This year’s National is expected to be the largest in its 45-year history.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks’ transcendent superstar known as the “Greek Freak,” is widely regarded as one of the most dominant and unique talents in NBA history. A two-time MVP (2019, 2020), NBA champion (2021), and Finals MVP, Giannis has redefined modern basketball with his unparalleled blend of size, athleticism, and skill. Standing 6’11” with a 7’3” wingspan, he’s the only player in league history to finish a season ranked top 20 in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals (2020).

“Giannis’ rags-to-riches journey from selling trinkets on the streets of Athens to global superstardom resonates deeply with fans, embodying perseverance and humility," said JBJ Promotions NSCC show managers. “For collectors, Giannis’ rookie cards and memorabilia are blue-chip assets, with his autographs symbolizing a connection to a generational icon whose dominance and authenticity continue to inspire the basketball world.”

His career averages of 22.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game only scratch the surface of his impact. Giannis’s 2021 championship run cemented his legacy, capped by a historic 50-point, 14-rebound, 5-block performance in the title-clinching Game 6—a feat unmatched in Finals history.

For fan delight and a rare chance to have memorabilia signed by all of Team Antetokounmpo, Giannis will be joined on stage alongside his three brothers, Alex, Kostas and Thanasis Antetokounmpo at this year’s National on Saturday, August 2nd.
