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.

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.
