His cuff Giannis Antetokounbos in Giannouli Larentzakisin the… picking of national basketball players, shortly after Greece’s friendly with Montenegro in Thessaloniki (14.08.2025), he went viral and commented by many.
There were a few who misunderstood Yiannis Antetokounbos’ cuff in Giannoulis Larentzakis and did not miss the opportunity to… poison. However, the reality is different.
Giannis Antetokounbos and Giannoulis Larentzakis are two very good friends who have known each other for more than 10 years as they have grown together and co -existed from the small national teams.
After all, the new shots that have come to the surface of the incident – which went viral – show that there was no malice or misunderstanding around the cuff that all it did was laugh.
Video from Tik Tok comes to answer, showing the players to make a “Zdo”, Antetokounbos giving Larentzakis a flash and then “Larry” turning to the side of “Greek Freak” and laughing, something that the team leader did.

This … cologne, between the two, seems to last for years. Definitely from 2013.
Giannoulis Larentzakis will have to remember his own… cuff to Yiannis Antetokounbos during the Eurobasket U20 and more specifically after a 19 -year -old ‘Greek Freak’ in a game against Croatia.

The only sure thing is that there is no misunderstanding between Antetokounbou and Larentzakis and that Kostas Papanikolaou was not held and laughing, next to “Greek Freak”.
