The addition of the Antetokounmpo brothers to the game marks the first time that NBA players will appear in Madden. The trio will also get custom gear that pays tribute to their childhoods in Greece.

Thanasis joined Giannis on the Milwaukee Bucks this season, with the latter winning his second consecutive MVP trophy as well as Defensive Player of the Year while leading the team to the best record in basketball.
