Why Giannis Antetokounmpo changed his number from 34, and why it might not be permanent

New Miami Heat star Giannis Antetokounmpo is starting a new chapter with the team, and his number reflects that change. Antetokounmpo is known for wearing number 34, as he did with the Milwaukee Bucks, but he now wears number 7 for the Miami Heat. Giannis on switching his number from 34, to 7 when he joined Miami: “Had to get closure. It was a huge chapter in my life. Now, I want to move on and the reason I’m not wearing 34 is out of respect. Not just the organization, but the people that was there with me.
