THE Giannis Antetokounbos He spoke to a new audio at the Podcast Thanalysis Show of his brother, Thanassis Antetkounbos and revealed his conversation with Michael Jordanthe notebook he has from his workouts with Kobe Bryant, but also his first acquaintance with Nikos Galis.
The Thanalysis Show has published a new audio with Yiannis Antetokounbos, in which Milogyoki Bucks’ leader pointed out his great effort to get to know Michael Jordan in their joint awards as two of the top 75 NBA players. I think he knew who I was, but as a kid from Greece, in my 27 years then, I didn’t know how to see basketball and if he knows who I am. But the way he looked at me was like giving me the… bat! I don’t make fun of me, but he told me “the way you play, so hard, is an inspiration.”
Yiannis Antetokounbos then argued that he felt an aura with Michael Jordan, whom he has only felt with Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and Nikos Galis. “I still have the notebook with everything Koby told me when we training together and that means so much to me,” the Greek Freak initially said, while Kevin Garnett said he made you cross a wall with what he was saying.
The story of @Giannis_an34 meeting Michael Jordan is worth EVERY SECOND of your time.

Finally, Yiannis Antetokounbos also talked about the legend of Greek basketball, saying: “Those who do not know Nick Galis are one of the top players of all time and is Hall of Famer! I had met him at dinner and had shuddered when he was talking to me.”
