In detail, what Giannis Antetokounmpo said to FIBA: “ I have competed in nine competitions with the National Team. I was there from day one, we had our ups and downs. Today was the day! I love everyone, I thank everyone for their support, because without it nothing would be possible. It is my greatest achievement, to represent the National Team, your country, 12 million people and reach a success, a medal.

"I've experience everything in my life. I don't talk much, I like my actions to speak. I'm not fake, I don't like being famous, I like basketball and the crowd. For me it's a relief because for me it was for my country, the team and I finally made it "

  1. And that shows the importance for international players to play for their country in FIBA tournaments. And we are talking about an NBA champion as the first option.

  2. Embiid should listen. Bringing Cameroon to the olympics and carrying their flag would be bigger than playing 1,5 h for the Dream Team and getting the easy medal.

  4. Answer to all those Reddit nephews who still don’t understand how important international basketball is for all those superstars.

  5. …well it ain’t gold, but my goat won pretty much everything you could in a basketball career…it’s bittersweet though…
