In an exclusive interview with COSMOTE TV, Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke about his NBA future and also about the EuroLeague favorites.
Giannis considers Olympiacos the favorite to win the EuroLeague Final Four, which will be held in May at Telekom Arena in Athens, Greece.
As he said to Greek journalist Rigas Dardalis: “If you asked me to choose between these two teams, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, I would say Olympiacos — because it’s their time.”
He elaborated further:”Olympiacos is a very good team. Panathinaikos has some difficulties and injuries, but when you have a coach like Ataman… however you put it, some people may like him, some may not, but he’s always there, always knocking on the door at every Final Four.”
Giannis also spoke about the Greek national team and the 2027 World Cup, setting high expectations and talking about a medal, even while acknowledging it won’t be easy.
“If I give up my summer, I won’t play just to lose. It will be difficult, but hopefully we can all get on the same page, do what we did at EuroBasket, and if we are that kind of team, anything can happen.”
