Giannis Antetokounbo on Sportish: “I snorted on stage, next to all these legends”

Antetokunbo then said:

“I had never met Michael Jordan before, I only saw him at our Charlotte Games. I never had a chance to introduce myself to him. I asked if he was here they said no but when he came out I was shocked. The greatest of all time. He’s crazy, I went and introduced myself to him, I was surprised that he knew who I was. I joke the handshake and the five seconds we had together was nice.

We’re only two Europeans on the list, right? That makes it even crazier. I saw Dirk Nowitzki win the championship, he’s one of us, he came from Europe. I hope Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic and other Europeans will follow my example and Dirk’s, and I hope more Africans will follow Hakim Olaywon’s example. In 25 years we will do it again, there will be more who will not be Americans“.
