"Going grocery shopping late at night"- Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals what helps him relax
Milwaukee Bucks talisman Giannis Antetokounmpo recently took to Twitter to share his relaxation methods with his fans. He revealed that he finds late-night grocery shopping a great way to unwind.
Sharing a photo of himself at the grocery store, the two-time NBA MVP also managed to stay out of public sight. He was dressed in a black hoodie and also had a face mask on that helped him go unnoticed. Here's what he posted:
"Going grocery shopping late at night might be the most relaxing thing ever lol."
Nobody recognises me!! 😂😂 https://t.co/WCeGwGqgf4
Giannis Antetokounmpo's fans were quick to react to his post, claiming it was highly relatable for them to go grocery shopping to relieve their stress. It is indeed quite rare for superstar athletes like Antetokounmpo to pick up their essentials. But it once again goes to show how humble the two-time NBA MVP has always been off the court.

The Milwaukee Bucks will have to be careful with Giannis Antetokounmpo's injury woes heading into the 2021-22 NBA season. They are eager to win their second-straight title, and it doesn't seem like a realistic proposition for them to win it without Antetokounmpo's services.
The NBA is returning to its 82-game-format for next season. So Giannis Antetokounmpo can take an extended rest if needed to regain full fitness before helping his team in their title defense.
