Following the pandemic, Antetokounmpo wanted to do more for those in need, including making healthcare more accessible.

As he seems to be keeping his word, Antidote Health has revealed that Antetokounmpo invested $1 million into the company, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The commitment will amplify the company’s promise for all Americans to receive top-of-the-line healthcare at an affordable price point “regardless of race, location, or circumstance.”

“Not everybody has access,” Antetokounmpo told Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I’m fortunate to be able to play in the NBA when I was 18 and now I’m 27. I can go to the doctor. I can send my kid to the doctor. I’m able to have access. But there’s so many millions of people in the U.S. and all over the world, but more in the U.S., that do not have that luxury like us. Are we going to turn a blind eye to that? Or are we going to do something about it? This is me doing something about it.”

He continued: “I’m not a health expert but I believe in people. No matter if you’re rich or poor, people are important, and at the end of the day what are we going to do about it? This is me doing something about it.”
