Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many in the NBA community have more free time than they know what to do with. So what do basketball fans usually do when they can’t play basketball?
Play it virtually.
Since the season got postponed, we’ve seen countless basketball stars hit the sticks on NBA 2k20 — including Giannis Antetokounmpo. Perhaps the most interesting part of it all is not how he played, but which team he played with.
In released footage of one of his matches, we see that he picks to rep the Warriors.

Much has been made about Giannis’ upcoming free agency. As one of the best players in the NBA, he has the potential to seriously change the status quo.
The Warriors, following the departure of Kevin Durant, have been named as potential suitors for the young superstar. A partnership between the Dubs and Giannis would be deadly for the rest of the league and their winning culture must be a strong lure for the Greek Freak.
The combination of Giannis, Steph, Klay, and Draymond would be unstoppable and the Warriors would be right back to their winning ways.
But there are a number of obstacles that must be overcome for that scenario to play out and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the months to come. First, though, we have to wait out the rest of this quarantine.
