Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo could not hold back his tears after helping Greece reach its first Olympic Games since 2008 in a qualifying final victory on Sunday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo always wears his heart on his sleeve when he is on the basketball court, which is why he was very emotional after helping Greece reach the Paris Olympics on Sunday. A series of basketball tournaments overseas determined the fate of multiple countries playing in the Olympics, and one of the four remaining spots in the Games went to Greece, who defeated Croatia, 80-69, for the right to compete for medals.

On the other side of the sign read, 'Paris 2024 Bound.' 'I have never cheat the game…See you in Paris,' Antetokounmpo captioned his X post with the photos, which also included a praying hands emoji.
