LeBron James reacts to Antetokounmpo brothers playing for Greece’s EuroBasket team

·

NBA superstar, LeBron James, has reacted to news that the four Antetokounmpo brothers will be joining forces to represent Greece in the EuroBasket 2022.

Two-time NBA MVP and Milwaukee Bucks star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, recently shared a series of photos on social media of him with his brothers, Thanasis, Kostas and Alex, as they proudly wore the Greek national team’s jersey.

Thousands of people reacted to the photos, including LeBron James, who used fire emojis to show his support to the brothers.

Speaking at a media day, Giannis said “it’s a dream come true” to be playing with his brothers in Greece’s EuroBasket team.

“We’ve been saying that one day we’ll achieve this. It makes us proud,” he added.

Giannis first confirmed he would play for the Greek national team last month on Twitter, when he posted a photo of himself wearing the Greek team’s training shorts, with a caption hinting at his return.

Greece’s head coach, Dimitris Itoudis, confirmed he would be joined by his brothers just days later when he released the names of the 23 players available on the preliminary roster for the 2022 EuroBasket and 2023 World Cup qualifiers.

Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach, Josh Oppenheimer, will also join the coaching staff for the national team.

Greece will play in EuroBasket’s Group C, where they will face Estonia, Ukraine, Great Britain, Italy, and Croatia.
