Giannis Antetokounmpo's Girlfriend Shares Tribute Ahead Of NBA Postseason; 'It's Go Time Baby'

Milwaukee Bucks' star Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting ready for the NBA postseason, but first, his girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, wanted to share how much she appreciates their life together.

She recently shared a carousel of photos on Instagram with a sweet caption expressing her love and gratitude for her longtime partner.

Riddlesprigger took to Instagram to share photos of her and Antetokounmpo, captioning the carousel, "This post is simply dedicated to the man who has made all of my wildest dreams come true! We are far from perfect, but you have made my life a fairytale."

She concluded her caption by mentioning the upcoming postseason, "Cheers to more adventures together, but for now, it's gone time, baby! 💛"

The Bucks dropped into the comments to leave, "💚💚💚," and many others left kind words for the couple.

"Milwaukee loves you and your family and everything you guys do for the community ❤️," one follower wrote.

Another added, "Champions 2023 + NBA Finals MVP Giannis ❤️💪."

A few weeks before her appreciation post, the former volleyball player also shared a carousel of photos captioned, "Always on your team."

The couple is parents to two boys, Liam, 3, and Maverick, 1. Riddlesprigger often shares a glimpse into their lives but doesn't fully show the boys' faces in photos.

Riddlesprigger isn't new to sharing tributes to her NBA star boyfriend. For his most recent birthday, she shared a carousel of family photos with a sweet caption to commemorate the start of his 28th year.

"Giannis, I seriously adore everything about you. My life would be dull without your light. The father you are to our boys is breathtaking," she wrote. "Happy Birthday, My Love. I promise this year will be magical. 💛"

She's also shared many other tributes filled with gratitude and support on social media to her "fairytale" life with Antetokounmpo throughout their journey together.

Next stop: the 2023 NBA playoffs. The Bucks have locked down the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a 58-23 record. This gives the team a home-court advantage for the first series of the playoffs.

While Antetokounmpo is focused on his NBA career, he's also known for his sense of humor and lighthearted spirit, and a new project will help highlight that side of the "Greek Freak."

It was recently announced that the NBA star is working on a joke book since his dad's jokes go over so well online and in postgame interviews. He struck a deal with a major publishing company to release a book of tricks he would compile himself.

For the past few years, the Bucks star has been collecting jokes and testing them in social media posts and interviews. He's also working on creating marks himself with some contributions from his brothers.

The book's working title is "Constipation" and will be released later this year around Christmas. In addition to a paperback, hardcover, and eBook, the book will be released in audiobook form with Antetokounmpo narrating.

The most prominent chapter, the one everyone is probably expecting, is called "Dad Jokes." Still, there will also be different categories of jokes divided into chapters that cover jokes on specific players, Greek jokes, and Nigerian jokes, among other types.
