Giannis Antetokounmpo is coming off representing Greece at the 2025 EuroBasket. Antetokounmpo was almost unstoppable in the tournament, leading his national team to a bronze medal win for his first international accomplishment.
"The Greek Freak" was emotional after Greece's win against Finland in the third-place match. It was Greece's first medal since winning bonze in the 2009 EuroBasket. He even went as far as saying that winning a medal for Greece was his biggest achievement.
"This is probably one of the biggest accomplishments that I've ever accomplished as an athlete,"iGiannis said, according to Basketball Forever. "I know I've won an NBA championship, but there’s no feeling like representing your national team and representing 12 million people that breathe and live this national team. This is probably the greatest accomplishment so far in my life."
Antetokounmpo made it very clear that he is not diminishing his NBA title. It was just a different emotion winning something for your country.
