The Bucks are all-in in supporting their cornerstone superstar, too. A testament to this fact is how head coach Doc Rivers and general manager Jon Horst flew all the way to France to watch Giannis play live on Saturday against a powerhouse Canada side.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Doc Rivers, Jon Horst Fly to Paris to Support Giannis Antetokounmpo
It was Giannis’ mother, Veronica Antetokounmpo, who shared a photo of herself with Rivers and Horst in the stands during Saturday’s matchup between Greece and Canada. The trio were all smiles as they watched Giannis put on a show against the Canadians.
Unfortunately, despite Antetokounmpo’s massive effort, the Greeks still fell in their Olympic opener, 86-79. Not even Giannis’ game-high 34 points were enough to lift Greece against the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (21 points, seven assists) and RJ Barrett (23 points, four rebounds), to name a couple.
Giannis and Co. will want to bounce back from this loss quickly as they face off against Spain on Monday in their second of three opening-round games.
