Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting ready to face a big challenge next month when the Greece national team takes on the 2022 EuroBasket. Many great teams will be there, trying to win the gold medal, and the Greek fans are excited to see how their team can fare against the best teams in the continent.
Having a 2x NBA MVP with them is a big plus for the Greek team, but Giannis has tried to keep it cool, being humble as usual, showing that he’s ready to show his level on the court and let his game do the talk.
Well, that hasn’t prevented fans from getting excited, and recently, one NBA superstar showed his support to Giannis and his three brothers. Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex are joining the Milwaukee Bucks superstar in the tournament, and LeBron James is really happy to see that happening.
Recently, Giannis shared a series of pics with his brothers, showing his excitement to share touches with them on the national team. Many people reacted to that, including LeBron James, who used fire emojis to show his support to the brothers.

LeBron isn’t shy to express his opinion on things and show his supportive side, even if he has to praise rivals. Knowing how hard Giannis had to fight to become a professional player, how difficult life was for him and his brother, and how proud they were to represent the country, James couldn’t help but send a big message to them.
After Vassilis Spanoulis called it a career, the Greek national team needed a new leader, and it seems like the 2021 NBA champion is ready to take that role. It’ll be hard, as other teams will boast huge players, like Slovenia with Luka Doncic or Serbia with Nikola Jokic.
Giannis knows the competition will be hard, but he’s not afraid of any challenge.
