Antetokounmpo Reveals Surprising True Value Behind EuroBasket Bronze Triumph
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s trophy case is already pretty crowded—NBA championship ring, Finals MVP, a couple of MVP awards—yet, somehow, none of that gleams as brightly to him as the bronze medal he snagged with Greece at EuroBasket this past Sunday. Honestly, it’s kinda refreshing to see a superstar of his caliber get so genuinely fired up about representing his homeland. “There’s no feeling like representing your national team and the 12 million souls who live and breathe it,” Giannis said, and I gotta say, that hits differently. He absolutely bossed the court against Finland, dropping 30 points and grabbing 17 boards, guiding Greece to their first EuroBasket medal since 2009. Meanwhile, across the tournament, Germany rose to the top, propelled by Dennis Schroder and Franz Wagner, handing Turkiye a tough loss in the finals. The magic of international basketball—where pride and passion trump every stat sheet—is alive and well. LEARN MORE.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has an NBA championship ring and a Finals MVP trophy from 2021. He has two NBA MVP trophies.
However, after lifting Greece to the bronze medal in EuroBasket Sunday, he called that his greatest accomplishment.
“This is probably one of the biggest accomplishments that I’ve ever accomplished as an athlete. 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.”
Greece has the bronze because Antetokounmpo was dominant on Sunday, scoring 30 points and pulling down 17 rebounds to lead Greece to a 92-89 win over Lauri Markkanen and Finland.
This was the first time Greece has medaled at EuroBasket since it took the bronze in 2009.
Behind the play of the Kings’ Dennis Schroder and the Magic’s Franz Wagner, Germany took the EuroBasket crown, defeating the silver medal team Turkiye, led by the Rockets’ Alperen Sengun.
