Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most decorated basketball stars today. He's a two-time NBA MVP, a one-time NBA champion, a one-time NBA Finals MVP, and a one-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Despite all the success he's garnered in the USA, earning his first medal with Greece means the world to him.
After winning the bronze medal on Sunday, Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn't hold back his emotions as he was happy to finally reach a new milestone for his country. In his book, the Greek Freak feels that winning a medal with Greece is the biggest accomplishment of his career.
“We did it. This is probably one of the biggest accomplishments that I’ve ever accomplished as an athlete,” Antetokounmpo said. “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.”
