A basketball court in Ghana, named after the NBA Greek Nigerian star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, has begun construction.

According to a tweet by the Greek Foreign Ministry, the new basketball court will be jointly funded by the Greek government.

The idea for a basketball court was proposed by Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias after his visit to St Nicholas Greek School in January.

Antetokounmpo made his NBA debut on October 13, 2013 at the age of 18 as one of the youngest NBA players ever.

Since then, Antetokounmpo won back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player Awards in 2019 and 2020, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James as the only players in NBA history to win two MVPs before turning 26.
