Giannis Antetokounmpo looked back on the 2022 NBA All-Star Game and the moment he met Michael Jordan during the halftime ceremony honoring the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
He had previously mentioned that it was the first time he met His Airness, but this time he shared a new detail about their interaction.
“I think he knew who I was, but as a kid from Greece, 27 years old, I didn’t know if he watches basketball anymore. Does he really know what I do? But the way he looked at me and said, ‘The way you play hard is inspiring…’” Antetokounmpo recalled, per Thanalysis Show.
He emphasized how meaningful that moment was for him.
“That moment meant a lot to me, and if I never see him again, it’s okay. I appreciate that moment,” Giannis concluded.
