15 Things You Don’t Know About Giannis Antetokounmpo

2. Giannis Struggled Playing Pro Basketball In Greece

It’s hard to believe Giannis dominates the NBA, but barely got by in Greece.

He struggled in the Greek League, only averaging 9.5 points per game and 5 rebounds for the Filathlitikos B.C. in 2012-13.

Despite his struggles, Giannis was selected as a “special participant” to the Greek League All-Star Game because the fans demanded and begged for him to play in the game.

Giannis said that he wants to make a return to Greece to play professional basketball when he’s 40 years old.
