Giannis Antetokounmpo Announces Birth of First Child on Twitter
By Sam Dunn
The world just became a bigger, better, more Freaktastic place now that Giannis Antetokounmpo and his girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, are the parents of a baby boy.
On Monday, Giannis announced the arrival of Mr. Liam Charles Antetokounmpo onto planet Earth, a place that might just end up being slightly big enough for him. This is not a guarantee.

Little Liam's middle name, Charles, is a tribute to Giannis' father, who passed away in the fall of 2017 at the age of 54.
For obvious reasons, you can understand why the Milwaukee Bucks big man and reigning NBA MVP will not play Monday night against the Sacramento Kings. You only become a first-time father once, after all.
