Giannis Antetokounmpo gets ownership stake in company

Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to terms with sports nutrition maker Ready Nutrition in a deal that will grant the him part ownership of the company. Ready Nutrition didn’t reveal an exact amount for the reigning MVP's investment but said it’s in the six-figure range. Speaking to CNBC, Antetokounmpo said: “This is not an endorsement deal. Obviously, I can help the brand and go out there and sell it to everybody, but this is not what this is. … this is a company I really believe in. "I could go with Gatorade, I could go with BodyArmor, but at the end of the day Ready was the right fit for me.” Milwaukee superstar has also talked about basketball potentially returning in July or August. “I want to play basketball as long as it’s safe for me and my family," he said. "I think the NBA will do the right thing to prioritize our safety and our health. So, I’m going to leave it to the NBA to make the right decision.” Before the NBA suspension, Giannis was averaging 29.6 points, 13.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists for the Bucks. He was also shooting 54.7 percent from the field, 30.6 percent from beyond the arc and 63.3 percent from the free-throw line.
