Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks were sent home in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs by the Miami Heat.
The Greek Freak is enjoying an extended break this summer. Evidently, Antetokounmpo is using this time to relax. The two-time NBA MVP also never misses a chance to share his hilarious thoughts on Twitter. He recently tweeted about becoming a goalkeeper for teams of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Karim Benzema.
“I was just sitting on my couch scrolling through For you page. Messi, Ronaldo, and Benzema. If you’re looking for a goalie for next season, let me know.”

The craze for soccer is unparalleled in European countries. Considering Antetokounmpo grew up in Greece, it’s no surprise that he keeps himself updated with the latest buzz happening in the soccer world.
Although Giannis is undoubtedly joking about becoming a goalkeeper next season, he stands at 7’0″ and could do a great job at protecting the goal for a team.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Made A Huge Statement About European Players
Over the last few years, talented prospects from all around Europe have been pouring into the league. The likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Luka Doncic have already proven that they are worth their salt in the NBA.
More European players than ever are showcasing their talent in the league right now. Giannis believes once LeBron James and other superstars retire, their dominance will only increase.
“I agree. It’s not a secret,” Antetokounmpo told Serge Ibaka. “Think about this. The last four MVPs are gonna be European. Two me and two Jokic. Luka might win the MVP, or Jokic might win another one, or Embiid might win.”
“When Lebron & other guys retire… It looks like all the best players will be from Europe.” Do y’all agree? 💭 (via @sergeibaka) pic.twitter.com/DqdVLvhl7g

There’s no doubt about the dominance of European players in the NBA. The last five MVPs of the league have European origins. With that being said, will European players’ rise mean an end to the American superstars getting the spotlight? Most likely not.
