Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals he ‘really wants to be a head coach’ following his playing career after Greek Freak guided Dwyane Wade’s team to Celebrity All-Star Game win

Giannis Antetokounmpo will be staying in the NBA for years and years to come, though it may not be as you think.

Following a successful coaching performance in the weekend’s NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, The Greek Freak revealed he sees the sidelines in his future.

‘When I retire, I want to be a head coach,’ Antetokounmpo told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

‘A lot of people don’t know that about me, but I want to be a head coach. I really want to be.’

Though the difficulty of coaching some of the world’s best basketball isn’t lost on the two-time MVP.

‘It’s kind of hard, because you have no control. And, I know the game of basketball, I know how to play the game of basketball, so it’s hard.’

Antetokounmpo, alongside brothers Thanasis and Alex, coached Dwyane Wade’s team to a victory over Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith’s squad.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was pivotal to the victory for Antetokounmpo’s side and accordingly was named MVP after 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale played for Team Dwyane. Other notable athletes participating included former NFL player Calvin Johnson and former MLB player Albert Pujols.

Between the game, and a 3-point shootout between Smith and Wade, $142,000 was raised for 5 for the Fight, a charitable foundation devoted to funding cancer research.

Smith said the funds raised on Friday would benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute on the University of Utah campus.

For Antetokounmpo, he will likely spend little time on the sidelines for a while now, starting as early as Sunday night in the All-Star Game.
