Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has set another goal for himself this summer. Despite the odds being stacked against him, the former back-to-back MVP hopes to lead Greece to a gold-medal finish in the upcoming Olympics in Paris.

Giannis shared a video of himself during a recent workout session on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. In it, the Bucks talisman is seen in Greece’s national team gear as he put in the work behind the scenes.
Antetokounmpo dropped an epic quote during the workout session, which he also used to caption the clip.

Giannis and the Greek national team kick off their Olympic campaign on July 27 against a powerhouse Canada side that will be led by the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray. These two nations are in Group A along with Australia and Spain.
Getting out of the group stage will be a major challenge for Antetokounmpo and Co. in itself so at this point, they will need to just take it one game at a time.
