Greece did not live up to expectations at the European Championship, but Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated the courts of Europe just as he does in the NBA.
The Greek basketball player had an interesting statement after Eurobasket, which Luka Doncic also made several times in his career.
Namely, Giannis believes that it is much more difficult to play in Europe than in the NBA league.
- The game in Europe is much more difficult than in the NBA. Of course, the level of talent in the NBA is higher, but it is much more intense in Europe – Adetokumbo commented after the EP.
In ESPN’s list, Giannis is the best player on the planet, but he doesn’t agree with that.
- Am I one of the best in the world? I am. But am I the best? I’m not. This is the player who leads his team to the goal. And that’s Steph Curry – explained the 27-year-old champion from 2021.
Journalists asked the Greek if he is still motivated to win titles.
- There is a certain kind of despair before winning the first ring, but I have not lost it. I am blessed to be in this position and I will not take anything for granted. I want to win the title. I was jealous when I watched the Golden State Parade. You know that feeling – Antetokounmpo was clear.
