The Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has pledged to join Greece’s roster for EuroBasket 2025, should the team qualify for the tournament.
When asked about Greece’s recent loss to Great Britain during the qualifiers, Antetokounmpo admitted he was aware of the disappointing result.
However, he expressed confidence in the team’s ability to recover.
‘I know we’ve had some tough games, but I believe in this team. I know they’ll find their rhythm and get us to EuroBasket,’ Antetokounmpo shared, reflecting both his optimism and his unwavering support for his teammates.
He also emphasized his personal enthusiasm, adding, ‘Not just to see them, but to be with them and play with them again!’ His words underline his eagerness to contribute not only as a player but also as a source of inspiration and unity.
Antetokounmpo’s history with the Greek national team is a testament to his dedication. Last summer, he represented Greece in seven critical games, including the Olympics and the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, showcasing his elite skills on the international stage.
His performances in the 2015 and 2022 EuroBasket tournaments further established him as a central figure in Greek basketball. With each tournament, he has carried the hopes of a nation while demonstrating his commitment to elevating the team’s stature.
If Greece qualifies, Antetokounmpo’s presence will bring more than just skill and athleticism – it will inject confidence and leadership into the roster.
Known for his electrifying playing style and resilience, his return to the EuroBasket stage would signal Greece’s intention to compete fiercely against Europe’s top teams.
For Greek basketball fans, the prospect of watching Antetokounmpo back in national colors next summer adds even greater significance to the qualifiers.
