Giannis Antetokounmpo has recently shared his one condition for considering a switch to professional wrestling. He expresses his willingness to pursue a wrestling career if it offers earning the same amount of money as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“Possibly… Be like what, like “The Rock?” S**t if I make as much money as “The Rock” makes, for sure. Man, I don’t know. I don’t want to be a wrestler. That’s not my thing, but you never know”. Giannis has been a long-time fan of wrestling and has made guest appearances on both WWE and AEW shows.
Although he stated that wrestling is not his passion, Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged the allure of the sport and the potential financial benefits it offers. He mentioned other notable athletes who have dabbled in wrestling, such as Shaquille O’Neal, Mike Tyson, and the Ball family. “I’ve seen a lot of great athletes: Shaq, Mike Tyson, LaMelo was there, Lonzo, LaVar Ball was there a couple of years ago. So you’ve seen a lot of people that’ve been a part of it.”
While Giannis has achieved great success in the basketball world, his interest in the world of wrestling shows his open-mindedness to exploring other avenues. However, for now, his focus remains on dominating the basketball court and continuing to make his mark as one of the NBA‘s brightest stars.
