Giannis Antetokounmpo Sues Over Alleged ‘Greek Freak’ Rip-Off

NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is deadly serious about defending his nickname — and now he’s suing an artist for selling “Greek Freak” shirts without his permission. 

The Milwaukee Bucks stud is going scorched earth on Pennsylvania-based artist Jinder Bhogal — who sells NBA player-inspired clothing on his website. 

In fact, Bhogal featured various items featuring Giannis’ face morphed with Bucks antlers in a design titled, “Greek Freak.”

At one point, Bhogal offered his clients 10% off anything in the “Greek Freak” collection. 

Problem is … Giannis says he owns the trademark to use “Greek Freak” for commercial purposes and claims Jinder never asked for permission. 

In court docs filed Monday, Giannis says he sent Jinder a cease and desist letter but the guy never responded. So, suing the dude was his next best move. 

Giannis claims he’s entitled to up to $2 MILLION for the alleged trademark infringement — but his lawsuit seems more about protecting his image than making a Buck (get it?!).
