Giannis Antetokounmpo and CC Sabathia have more in common than you might think.
The reigning NBA MVP, Antetokounmpo, is on top of Milwaukee at the moment. But the New York Yankees starter was once the biggest thing in the Cream City during his remarkable half-season with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2008.
Antetokounmpo was in Yankee Stadium on Monday and had the chance to talk with Sabathia. Coley Harvey of ESPN captured the moment between the two.
Giannis Antetokounmpo: “So they told me you used to live in Milwaukee …”
Giannis and CC spent much of this interaction discussing Milwaukee and how great the sports fans there were during Sabathia’s post-trade run in 2008, and during the Bucks’ run this year.
