Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo had more banks than letters in his name before Avenue Capital Group founder Marc Lasry stepped in. The National Basketball Association’s two-time most-valuable player had accounts open at 50 different banks, with each of them holding up to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. coverage limit. That shocked Lasry, who co-owns the Milwaukee team.

I’d be cool if Joel Embiid wins MVP. Been hunting the 👑 for 3 years & having his best season. Giannis Antetokounmpo is more than worthy of a 3rd MVP. So many take his brilliance for granted. But the case for Nikola Jokic keeps smacking me in the face like Rick James in the club. – 11:36 PM

What amazing defensive plays by Brown and Smart to block Giannis… and great timing on the turnover to allow Ime to call his use-it-or-lose-it timeout just before the cut off. C’s can catch a rest here and set up an important play – 9:42 PM

Giannis has now gone three straight games without making a first half free throw. Just 0/1 combined against the Mavs, Bulls and Celtics. Some good defense, not a lot of aggression on his part, and not much in the way of calls. – 8:47 PM

Sam Hauser was the second reserve in for Boston.
Grant will come back in after this timeout. Looks like Ime may try and match him to Giannis as much as possible. White guarded Giannis the last couple of trips in the halfcourt. – 7:49 PM

More on this storyline
“I spend a lot of time with them explaining where they should invest,” he said of his players on Thursday at the Bloomberg Wealth Summit in New York. “I’m like, Giannis, you can’t be having accounts at 50 different banks. Let me tell you something, if JPMorgan goes under, your little dinky banks are going to go under too. Let me explain what you should buy, you should buy U.S. Treasuries, you should buy this.” -via Bloomberg / April 8, 2022
