Giannis Antetokounmpo Emotional After Helping Greece Qualify for the Olympics

Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading to the Paris Olympics.
The Milwaukee Bucks superstar scored 23 points to go along with eight rebounds and a block in Greece's 80-69 victory over Croatia, qualifying his country for the Olympics.
The Greek Freak was visibly emotional after the victory:
It will be the team's first appearance in the Olympics since 2008:
Georgios Papagiannis added 19 points for Greece.
Alongside getting past Croatia-which had a number of NBA talents, including Dario Šarić (14 points, 12 rebounds) and Ivica Zubac (19 points, 12 boards)-Antetokounmpo's Greece knocked out Slovenia and Dallas Mavericks' superstar Luka Dončić on Saturday in Olympic qualifying, 96-68.

Μπράβο ρε Παλικάρια. Πάμε Δυνατά Ελλάδα. Άξιος Σημαιοφόρος ο Γιάννης. Μπράβο Ελλάδα.

only idiots cannot understand the significance of Thanasis.

[@innosanto]

Thanasis may be the leader of the national team. Play wise maybe Calathes or Yannis but soul wise Thanasis. Now there is also Spanoulis coach but players wise Thanasis.

Μωρε,τι ομορφη σκηνη με τα πιτσιρίκια του, να σηκωνουν τα ταμπελακια και να χοροπηδανε πισω απο το μπαμπά τους...❤❤❤❤Σ'ευχαριστουμε,ρε Γιαννη, για την πλατη που έβαλες κι εσυ κι ο αδερφος σου,για την πατριδα..

[@ranilcurry615]

Wow ...in the Olympics too

[@elenakarmiri8021]

We 💙 this guy so much

[@jicksantos7164]

Without thanasis greece is nothing in basketball

[@ranilcurry615]

Thananis in the Olympics too? 😲😮😮😮😮 WOW

[@alx_gr1]

He is not playing. He is just there to support the team.

[@innosanto]

Thanasis is part of national team but is injured.

[@scscscsa2121]

Where is the real mvp Thanasis?

[@Thanos1908]

Banging your sister while your mom waits for seconds.

[@innosanto]

Thanasis is important part of national team, maybe in NBA you dont recognize the quality of the player you dont know how to use the great skills of Thanasis, the defence, rebounding, blocks, fast attacks, control of space, shooting etc.

[@dunkirito8308]

All that for bronze medal

[@IHATETONE]

Would still be a hell of an achievement

[@chiang2000]

As an Australian a Bronze is worth it on the world stage. I waited since 1980. It was awesome when we finally broke through.

[@xdx2653]

for the size and the population of greece i guess is not small achievement if greece finally won a medal which i really doubt with those team on court.
the size of the country it counts very much because you have not many options to choose from.

[@salonicadk7503]

all this for no medal, but for our country. because we love our country, you probably don't know this feeling

[@user-ue6yc9kr8i]

Greece doesn’t have Lebronze James. They have a real MVP.

Η cheerleader βγάζει με ένα συμβόλαιο όσο θα βγάλεις εσύ και δέκα γενιές από το σόι σου.
