Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Greek national team kept their Olympic hopes alive with a 77-71 victory over Australia in Paris on Friday. The Milwaukee Bucks star contributed 20 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, reaffirming his status as one of the top basketball players in the world.
When Antetokounmpo eventually enters the Hall of Fame, his brother Thanasis, who has been his personal hype man, will likely be there to support him and continue his own legacy of enthusiastic encouragement.
Thanasis was courtside for Greece’s win, doing what he does best: getting excited as his brother excelled. Take a look at his reaction to Giannis scoring a challenging basket just before halftime.
It’s undeniably impressive that this guy can keep his excitement at its peak, even after witnessing his brother achieve nearly everything in the sport. His tremendous energy and endurance from the sidelines are remarkable.
