Right now, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brother Thansis are enjoying their time over in Greece playing for the national team. They’re currently playing exhibition games before heading to China for the World Cup in two weeks. The Chinese crowd will likely be very hyped to see Giannis which I cannot blame them for. Yesterday afternoon they took on Serbia who has Nikola Jokic, Bojan Bogdanovic and Boban Marjanović. Greece trailed by eight down the stretch and Hellas led them back including a game-tying shot from Thansis. He drilled that baby from deep.

Great game… Serbia was ahead by 8 pts (72:64) with only 37 seconds left on the clock. Greece scored 8 pts in 25 seconds. Thanasis sent the game to OT with this three 13 seconds before the end of the 4th quarter. pic.twitter.com/WNMUjTyAla

I’ll be very interested to see what Greece does in the World Cup with the Antetokounmpo brothers. They start their World Cup run against Czech Republic on Sunday, September 1st. The cool thing about China is we’re going to have basketball games in the morning. I fucking love that. There is nothing better than having sports on at random times during the day. You can have a full day of sports which is awesome. My assumption is that ESPN, who is covering the World Cup, will likely put a lot of Giannis’ games on.
