MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo has returned to Twitter after he deactivated his account following Kobe Bryant's death. His first tweet: a complaint about Eric Bledsoe not being named as an All-Star.
On Jan. 27, Giannis deactivated both his Instagram and his Twitter. Prior to the deactivation, Giannis had over 800K followers on Twitter.
On Thursday, a mere four days later, Giannis rejoined the Twitter world. Now, his Twitter account has less than half the followers he did before deactivating, 380K.
The MVP reactivated his Twitter to share his thoughts on the All-Star selections.
How on earth are we about to have almost 50 wins before All Star and we don’t have 3 All Stars in the game???? @EBled2 is an All Star!

Giannis and his teammate Khris Middleton were both selected as All-Star players for the season, but apparently, Giannis was hoping one more teammate would be on the roster.
The Bucks MVP is yet to return to Instagram but with this news, hopefully it won't be long until we see him back on all his socials.
It appears Giannis Antetokounmpo has either deleted or deactivated his social media platforms. He and Kobe Bryant were close. Kobe challenged him to be great, and was Giannis’ biggest fan. pic.twitter.com/vXkxnKHouZ
