Giannis Antetokounmpo twitter hacked: Giannis Antetokounmpo apology 

The Giannis Antetokounmpo apology read, "The tweets and posts were extremely inappropriate and I am so disappointed and disgusted that somebody would say the terrible things that were said. I feel terrible that the Bucks, Khris (Middleton), LeBron (James) and the Curry family (Stephen Curry) were included in the malicious and untrue tweets. I feel especially terrible for the Bryant family, during their time of grief they should not be subjected to this type of negativity and foul behaviour."

Among a host of tweets made from the hacked account, some of the tweets that stood out and were considered hateful were Giannis confirming his move to Golden State Warriors, disrespecting LeBron James, Steph Curry, Bucks organisation, Kobe Bryant, among others. Steph Curry and his family were frequently targetted by the hackers as one of the tweets tried to rile up the relationship between the two NBA stars involving Curry's wife. One particular tweet even claimed that Giannis Antetokoumpo has contracted coronavirus. The hateful tweets have now been deleted.
