The first episode of ‘The Kardashians’ season 2 aired on September 22, 2022. As expected, the show is already trending as the first episode has revealed the face of Khloe Kardashian’s son. The episode also documented Khloe’s baby shower. In addition, the show also revealed shocking revelations regarding NBA player Tristan Thompson. In a nutshell, the show is off to a great start for fans. Therefore, that makes it all the more reasonable that a certain NBA player is willing to do anything to join the Kardashian clan.

Milwaukee Bucks player Giannis Antetokounmpo had earlier expressed his desire to join the show. The Bucks star uploaded a hilarious video on Twitter on September 24. In the video, Antetokounmpo was pitching the idea to the wax figure of Kris Jenner. He suggested that it would be a good idea to include him in the show as he could bring value to it.

But that was not the end of the story. The two-time NBA MVP, who has a five-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks that is worth $228 million, has yet again expressed his wish to be on the show.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is hopeful that Kris Jenner will respond to his proposal

Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the Milwaukee Bucks forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo covered a variety of topics during a press conference. Midway through the interview, Antetokounmpo called out fellow Bucks player, Serge Ibaka who was present in the audience. Antetokounmpo asked Ibaka if he would win another MVP. Ibaka replied that it would be easy for him, but he also asked Antetokounmpo a question that fans wanted to know the answer to. Recalling the Greek Freak’s one-way conversation with Kris Jenner’s statue, Ibaka asked if Kris called him back.
