Giannis Antetokounmpo will play the EuroBasket next month, with the ambition of bringing a nice medal to Greece. Unfortunately, he will not be able to count on the support of his country of origin, Nigeria, which sent him a huge tackle on social networks.
Like every summer, Giannis Antetokounmpo is back home in Greece where he can decompress after a particularly trying year with the Bucks. At the dawn of EuroBasket, which will start next month, he did not make the trip alone, since his brothers are also with the national team! The Greek Freak shared his pride with his subscribers.

Giannis tackled by the selection of Nigeria before the Euro
The four Antetokounmpo brothers, Giannis, Alex, Thanasis and Kostas, have been selected for the preparation with their national team, and they have a good chance of playing EuroBasket together, with the ambition of achieving something big on the stage. international. And if this image is particularly impressive, it still caused a stir on social networks, and in particular on the side of the Nigerian selection, the country of origin of the family.

I found these pictures by chance. Nigeria beat Greece in the Olympic qualifying tournament in 2012 ????????
The Antetokounmpo brothers could easily have played for the Nigerian selection, their country of origin, and promoted African basketball… Their choice was different, which still annoys the Greens, who made it known in their own way on Twitter . In Nigeria, we risk not supporting Greece during the next Euro or during the next qualifying phase for the 2024 Games.
Nigeria’s account is one of the most active and entertaining on Twitter, here’s further proof… Hopefully the Greek Freak will have the opportunity to settle his accounts directly on the pitch in the future, during a World Cup or Olympics.
