Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has fans all across the world as his global stardom only continues to get bigger and bigger.

Add wrestling legend and Fozzy-led singer Chris Jericho to that group.

The future WWE Hall of Famer and current AEW star was in attendance for the Bucks' game against the Miami Heat on Saturday afternoon and met up with Antetokounmpo afterward.

Antetokounmpo didn't play in the game (he also missed Thursday's contest against the Heat as he tends to left knee soreness), but the Bucks' two-time MVP is always an attraction for home or away fans whether he plays or not.

"Had a blast cheering on the Bucks and my bro Giannis Antetokounmpo today!" Jericho posted Saturday on his Instagram account.

Jericho said Antetokounmpo and the Bucks treated his family "like gold."

Jericho posted several photos of Antetokounmpo with his family, one of which featured the wrestler's son holding a signed purple Antetokounmpo jersey. The broadcast caught Antetokounmpo signing the jersey at the end of the game.

"Such a great guy …. and he told me he grew up in Greece putting his brothers in the Walls of Jericho! You never know who’s watching," Jericho wrote.

The Walls of Jericho has been the wrestler's go-to finisher for decades.

Antetokounmpo and his Bucks teammates have showcased their love for wrestling in the past. Their wrestling-themed pre-game warmups a few years ago gained a lot of attention. And Antetokounmpo and his teammates frequently appear at wrestling shows in Milwaukee.

He was introduced and was ringside during an AEW show at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in August 2021. During a WWE live event that month, Bobby Portis showed up in the ring with The New Day.

The Bucks also have their own replica championship belt that was gifted to them from the WWE after their NBA title in 2021.
