Giannis Antetokounmpo sends a message ahead of 2024 Paris Olympics

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a first-time Olympian and is ready to take his act to the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Milwaukee Bucks star helped his team defeat Croatia with 23 points, eight rebounds, and three assists.

After the win, Antetokounmpo appeared very emotional. He was seen in tears with his sons nearby. Antetokounmpo and Greece also defeated Luka Doncic and Slovenia in a tough semifinal matchup.

After the win, the two-time NBA MVP took to his X account, and made it known how he felt about making it to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“I have never cheat the game.. See you in Paris,” wrote Giannis with a folded hands emoji.

It will not be easy for Antetokounmpo and his team to progress in the tournament, as they are in the "group of death," along with three other favorites Australia, Canada, and Spain. However, with The Greek Freak leading the way, it will also be a big challenge for their competition.
