Despite facing an early playoff exit in the 2024-25 NBA season and trade rumours in the offseason, the Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo continued thrilling fans with his performances in the 2025 EuroBasket.
Antetokounmpo displayed strong efforts for Greece in the tournament, which led them to the semifinals against Turkey. Before the game, the Greek Freak made serious preparation, as one video showed him learning Turkish.
Despite these, Greece failed to clinch the win. Before the game, Turkish player Alperen Sengun told his teammate Ercan Osmani that he’d buy him a Rolex if he held Antetokounmpo under 20 points. The same happened as Osmani showcased a strong game, which resulted in Antetokounmpo scoring only 12 points, five assists, and 12 rebounds.
Greece lost the game with the final score 68-94, which ended their quest for the title this year. However, they had the chance to compete for third place in the game against Finland. Antetokounmpo returned strongly in that game.
At one moment, during the first quarter, when Finland’s player tried to make a mid-range shot, Antetokounmpo showcased his skills, coming from behind and making a stellar block. Moreover, his Mean mug after that block became the key highlight of the game. The video of that scary sight recently surfaced on social media platforms and quickly went viral.
Antetokounmpo played for 30:50 minutes and scored 30 points, six assists, and 17 rebounds. This strong performance helped Greece to win the game with the final score 92-89, ultimately securing the third spot in the tournament.
Sengun Points Out Key Flaw in Antetokounmpo’s Game
While the 2025 EuroBasket has ended for Antetokounmpo, conversations about his performance will persist within the league. Recently, after scoring 15 points and contributing six assists and 12 rebounds in a game against the Greek Freak, Sengun highlighted one major weakness in Antetokounmpo’s gameplay.
“He’s an amazing player, you know, but he’s not a great passer,” Sengun said.
The 2025 EuroBasket tournament has reached its last game, featuring Turkey going up against Germany.
