It sounds like if his career continues, that stat will change for the brother of Giannis Antetokounmpo .
Thanasis used his "Thanalysis" podcast to bid farewell to the Bucks:
"I am grateful for everything from the bottom of my heart. Everything you gave to my family."

Turning 34 years old on July 18, it's not clear how much of a future Thanasis might have left in the NBA.
As the older brother of Giannis, he had the chance to spend parts of seven seasons in Milwaukee, including one he missed entirely with a torn Achilles.

Thanasis played between 20 and 57 games in his six healthy seasons with the Bucks, never averaging double-digit minutes per game.
The speculation now is that Thanasis may follow his brother to the Miami Heat after they acquired Giannis in a blockbuster trade.
From a roster construction standpoint, though, Thanasis doesn't necessarily make sense as an addition for the Heat. It'd be all about keeping Giannis happy -- which to be fair is a solid goal in Miami.
Thanasis could always choose to go to Europe to continue his playing career, too, if NBA interest isn't there. Or he could head toward retirement and move to Miami with Giannis even if he himself is no longer playing.

Whatever he decides, he'll leave Milwaukee as an NBA champion.
