Descent

The descent is relevant to the subject's notability and have to placed after this. see also wiki policies too. [1] --Meinlzel (talk) 17:01, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Meinlzel, the article talks about descent in the personal life section and there is a category at the bottom of the page. Adding anything more to the lead is unnecessary undue weight. The link you provided just above says nothing about including descent information in the lead, therefore implying that it shouldn't be included. —DangerousJXD (talk) 02:44, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

The wiki Implying? Not the appropriate (your) reason to remove important elements. Find a remarkable reason please. --Meinlzel (talk) 10:17, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Meinlzel, please understand that nobody is completely removing this information from the article. The information is still in the article, under the personal life section. This information simply does not belong in the spot you are putting it. Please look at the personal life section (click here to be taken there right away). To spell it out here, the personal life section says: "Antetokounmpo was born in Sepolia, Athens, Greece to Nigerian parents. Although he is of Nigerian descent, he does not have Nigerian citizenship. He officially gained full Greek citizenship on May 9, 2013, with the official legal spelling of his name being Giannis Antetokounmpo." The you gave link does not just imply that this information should be excluded from the lead, it essentially outright says so. That link provides a list of things that should be in the lead and information like this is not included there thus saying "don't include information on descent in the lead". In the personal life section is where it belongs. You know, it's not like I'm saying remove this information. I'm just saying, and others would agree, that this information doesn't belong where you are putting it. Two more things, there's no need to repeat the same information twice, and placing this information in the second sentence is plain silly. Giannis is not notable for his descent. —DangerousJXD (talk) 11:32, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

I want from you to show me where exactly is mentioned or to put it for me below (new user here), unless I do it thanks.--37.6.81.76 (talk) 12:06, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

In the personal section, it states "Although he is of Nigerian descent, he does not have Nigerian citizenship". The debate is whether or not it needs to be in the lead section. I personally don't think it needs to be, but I am not willing to get into a massive edit war over this. Let's all just take a step back and leave it be as it is now. DaHuzyBru (talk) 12:22, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Meinlzel, you still don't understand that the article already talks about descent. There is no war here. There is one user not understanding what others are saying. Consider rereading everything not said by you. To sum it up, this is silly, the article was perfect the way it was, and this is what I would call a misunderstanding. —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

The article is fine now. It was fixed. Take a look an another example ..(She) is an American singer and journalist of Greek descent. The descent (origin) is always mentioned above. If someone pull out his origin, then the word Greek should be pulled out from this mutilated staff, too. --37.6.81.76 (talk) 03:32, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

I have no idea what you just said but you seem to still think I'm for removing this information entirely. The article is not fine how it is. I'll say it again, this information is already in the article under the personal life section. Nobody is saying it should be removed from the article entirely. There is just no need to say it in the second sentence of the article or say it more than once. Read the above comments more thoroughly so you can understand what I'm saying. —DangerousJXD (talk) 07:31, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

The sentence Greek of nigirian origin is a completely sentence. Unless we remove it at all. Don't edit war--37.6.81.76 (talk) 10:43, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Again, I have no idea what you just said. I also am unsure whether I'm talking to two people or one. Your comments don't actually acknowledge that you know what I was saying nor do they actually address them. Edit warring is where two or more editors revert each other ten times each in 20 minutes. This is most definitely not that (this is a calm, but pointless, conversation) and you just saying that shows that there's no point in continuing to engage in conversation with you. I stopped caring about this crap when I made my last edit to the page; I barely cared in the first place and I generally care little about most things here. Further comments from anybody accomplish nothing. There's too much stubbornness in the air. So yeah, "you win, mate" indeed. —DangerousJXD (talk) 21:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Ι'm a different one. And I don't understand what do you finally want and say, since the mistake of the sentence was fixed and the problem sold, is over (I mean roughly that he is a Greek of Nigerian descent, not a Greek, it seems/sounds totally wrong).--37.6.81.76 (talk) 22:19, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

I really don't care anymore but this is what I'm saying. You just don't get it and you never will. Move on. There's nothing more that needs to be said. —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

What does it mean move on? Cooperative encyclopedias belong to cooperative people. Move on to you... --37.6.81.76 (talk) 23:56, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

The article is how you want it, right? Stop commenting then. This discussion is over, nothing more needs to be said by anyone. —DangerousJXD (talk) 00:13, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring

There has been a recent edit warring in both el and en wiki on the Antetokounmpo article, with regards to either replacing Greek with Nigerian nationality, or supplementing Greek with Nigerian and with the edits coming by a single person using different accounts. Obviously Antetokounmpo is a Greek citizen of Nigerian descent, and as such has links to both countries. However nationality wise he has Greek citizenship only, and as far as his own choice goes -having been born and raised in Greece- he is known to be celebrating with the Greek flag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihe_7SUJqsc and http://www.protothema.gr/sports/article/451626/all-star-game-o-adetokounbo-den-ta-katafere-sto-diagonismo-karfomaton-/ on many occasions. Gts-tg (talk) 13:13, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Those links are all well and good, but they don't solve the problem. The user who has been adding Nigerian on a very specific agenda is not going to stop said agenda purely because of those two links you provided. Neither disprove he is "Nigerian". There are no Greek or English sources (that I can find) that directly state Antetokounmpo is "not Nigerian". That is what we need – it's fine to find sources that say he's Greek, but what we really need it sources that specifically state that he is "not Nigerian" or "he does not have Nigerian citizenship". You and a few others have boldly claimed that he simple is not Nigerian, and I tend to agree with you, but are there any reliable sources to back this up? The Greek language I have found is difficult to translate so it's difficult to find Greek sources when I search here in Australia. He has Nigerian descent, no one is arguing that. What we need to establish is that he does not have dual citizenship or dual nationality. User:Bluesangrel did a good piece on my talk page. DaHuzyBru (talk) 14:26, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

DaHuzyBru yes that's a good point, the links provided were meant not to solve the problem but at least provide a glimpse of how Giannis himself feels about his Greek descent. Apart from this, the article at http://www.nba.com/global/antetokounmpo_center_of_heated_debate_greece_2013_07_08.html (close to the end of the article) clarifies that Giannis used to be a stateless person in Greece -although born in the country and raised there, like so many others- and when the time came for him to choose a nationality he chose the Greek one as it's the one country he has always known. Hope this helps a bit more. Gts-tg (talk) 07:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Complementary to the initial links there's this one too http://www.enikos.gr/sports/379053,Otan-o-Antetokoynmpo-ekane-parelash-me-thn-ellhnikh-shmaia--FWTO.html , Giannis parading with his school while holding the flag, yeah, a bit overdeveloped with regards to the other kids.

Section "Professional career," subsection "Filathlitikos," second paragraph. The first sentence starts

"In December 2012, just days after turning 18, Spanish club CAI Zaragoza signed Antetokounmpo to a four-year deal..."

Read literally, that's saying that the team itself turned 18 then signed Antetokounmpo days later. It should read

"In December 2012, just days after turning 18, Antetokounmpo signed a four-year deal with Spanish club CAI Zaragoza..."

IPA & question about original spelling of surname

I added the Greek IPA pronunciation for the name of Giannis (I did the same for his brother Thanasis Adetokunbo).

My question is: should the original spelling of their last name be included somewhere in the article? They are listed under Adetokunbo and there's a silent redirect, but no acknowledgement of the original spelling (which he also uses on his personal Twitter feed [2]).

Antetokounmpo is a letter-for-letter transliteration of the official/legal Greek spelling "Αντετοκούνμπο", and doesn't reflect the Greek pronunciation (/a(n)deto'kumbo/).--Meidei (talk) 14:48, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

The name is pronounced Ah-day-tow-kun-bo. The name is also not pronounced in Greek pronunciation either. It's always pronounced in the Nigerian pronunciation in Greece. This is how it should be listed. But the article keeps getting incorrect pronunciations placed on it. We should just not have any pronunciation listed at all, instead of having incorrect pronunciations listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluesangrel (talk • contribs) 17:56, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

So you're saying he can't pronounce his own name (0:12)? Bear in mind his L1 is Greek. — Lfdder (talk) 18:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

It is pronounced Ah-day-tow-kun-bo by the player and that is how he is called in Greece. We should just remove the pronunciation listing because it just keeps getting added in an incorrect manner.Bluesangrel (talk) 02:56, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

The transcription is correct and it's not going anywhere. — Lfdder (talk) 08:48, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Greek pronunciation can be transcribed as /ˈʝanis adeto'kunbo/ but it's quite often /ˈʝanis adeto'kumbo/ Apostolos Papadimitriou (talk) 02:21, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Nigerian, not "Greek"

He is a Nigerian professional basketball player who was born in Greece. It is wrong to refer to him as "Greek". Europe is different from the U.S. Nationality is linked to ethnicity. Wikipedia should not force a redefinition of what it means to be greek. 75.104.68.145 (talk) 04:48, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

He was born in Greece, plays for the Greek national team, and gained Greek citizenship in May 2013 [3]. Per this article, Antetokounmpo had no papers, neither from Nigeria, nor from Greece, for the first 18 years of his life. Regarding your statement "Europe is different from the U.S. Nationality is linked to ethnicity", do you have a source for this? DaHuzyBru (talk) 05:15, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Parents

Gianni's mother is alive however "his mother veronica was a high jumper" does not exist. His mother is a former high jumper George Gkoulis (talk) 18:18, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Y Done. DaHuzyBru (talk) 18:30, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Nigerian Nationality

According to the Nigerian Nationality Law, every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria. Giannis' parents are or were Nigerian Citizens at the time he was born, so he is/was a Nigerian Citizen too. Nigeria (and Greece) allows dual nationality, so Giannis Antetokounmpo has dual Greek/Nigerian nationality, even if he chooses not to hold a Nigerian Passport. Moreover, if he did not have Nigerian Nationality at birth, then he would be born stateless in Greece and would have acquired Greek Citizenship at birth under the UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness which Greece has signed. But Giannis obtained Greek citizenship by naturalization, because he was not born stateless at birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreamercon (talk • contribs) 15:23, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

This is about the origin of him not the nationality.--Meinlzel (talk) 10:22, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Meinlzel, this section is an unrelated matter from 2013 and 2014. It has nothing to do with your recent edits. The below section is concerning that. —DangerousJXD (talk) 11:46, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Correct! My daughter has three nationalities including Greek, since all countries agree on multiple nationality. However, if the parents do not report the birth to the embassy, the nationality is not acquired automatically. Considering the difficulties of getting Greek nationality, it might have been the case leaving him stateless in order to add some weight to the reasons why he should get a Greek passport. Anyway, it doesn't matter matter what nationality he chooses to have, this kid is truly a gem!!! Fkitselis (talk) 20:24, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

He does not have any Nigerian citizenship. He had none his whole life, then got Greek status. He to this day has no citizenship with Nigeria. Sources stating that are incorrect, and should not be used.Bluesangrel (talk) 01:00, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I have two nationalities (Nigerian and American) My parents are both from Nigeria, similar to Giannis, and I was born in America. I am pretty sure that the United States recognizes other nationalities as does other countries, so why wouldn't he just be Greek-Nigerian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8804:8100:5A00:D575:CF2A:FBDF:582D (talk) 02:06, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Positions

It only says Giannis is a "Forward/Guard." When I saw the article, it made it pretty unclear. Can we make it into a Power/Small Forward, and a Point/Shooting Guard?

Thanks, DerpieDerpie:D 00:46, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

@Derpdadoodle: He can play and has played all four positions (according to BR), but we don't need to clog up the infobox by listing all of them. "Forward" means a combination of SF & PF, while "Guard" means a combination of PG & SG. It covers all bases. DaHuzyBru (talk) 04:13, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

@Derpdadoodle: Yes, the intent is not to clutter the infobox when there are that many positions. You can also refer to WP:NBAPOSITION. This can definitely be detailed in the body, typically in a "Player profile" section. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 13:36, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Nigerian Name

The personal life section mentions a Nigerian name from his mom. Why is that the only place it exists? Is it not official? The importance is unclear. LordAtlas (talk) 02:41, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

The name is UGO (correctly pronounced as /ˈuːɡoʊ/ OO-goh) and not Ougko. There's no Nigerian name like Ougko Obibanks (talk) 09:31, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

@Obibanks: Do you have a source to support your claim? These two sources support "Ougko" [4] [5], while FIBA also list Ougko as part of his full name "Giannis Sina Ougko Antetokounmpo" [6]. DaHuzyBru (talk) 09:41, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

actually that's easy to answer and it's the same problem we had with his last name: the greek alphabet does not have letters corresponding with our sounds u and g. So to write his name they have to use ou and gk - u alone would tend to ee and g alone to y - Ugo (in greek letters) would be pronounced Eeyo instead of Oogoh. Ougko is a letter-for-letter-transcription back from the greek letter-for-letter-as-far-as-possible-transcription, which is necessary due to a DIN-Norm which obviously never was intended for back-and-forth transcriptions. At least I've never seen Tzorz Ouasingkton in writing... --2003:F6:271B:8F00:9886:9DC6:F64C:BF00 (talk) 11:23, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

If Kostas's own wikipedia page isn't enough, here is the article it cites: "https://sportando.basketball/en/kostas-antetokounmpo-signs-with-asvel/". Also, I'm not sure we should go into so much detail about Giannis's brother's history in his article, but that's up to y'alls discretion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Debater284938 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Edit request on introductory section

I propose to change "...helped lead the Bucks to their first NBA championship..." to "...led the Bucks to their first NBA championship...". In my mind "helped lead" alludes to two superstars being on a team and splitting leading man duties between them. The Bucks did not have 2 superstars last year and therefore "helped lead" doesn't make sense. Even Kendrick Perkins apologised to Giannis, so let's make it a little bit clearer in the article who was doing the leading. 160.40.51.190 (talk) 14:06, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
