Giannis Antetokounmpo has a meaningful reason for changing from No. 34 to No. 7

Key points

• Giannis Antetokounmpo will wear No. 7 with the Miami Heat this season, leaving No. 34 behind after 13 years with the Milwaukee Bucks.
• He said his parents' birth years and his mother's birthday, April 7, inspired the new number. He said he left No. 34 in Milwaukee out of respect for the organisation that drafted him.
• Antetokounmpo said he hopes to make No. 7 as legendary as No. 34, and that the change gives him closure.
