Giannis Antetokounmpo has talked before about how excited he was to be playing on the Greek National Team, and if Tuesday’s game against Spain is any indication, he’s pretty damn geeked up: he put up 31 points and got 10 boards in just over 20 minutes of action.
That’s a crazy performance obviously, but do you notice anything else in this clip?
The basketball we’re seeing here is not what we’ve gotten used to seeing from Europeans.
Remember when people thought that European Basketball might change the NBA? Well it did - Stephen Curry and the other great three point shooters are proof of that - but what we see here is that the exchange goes both ways.
