NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo showered fellow Greek athletes
Maria Sakkari and
Stefanos Tsitsipas in praise.
Despite being the birthplace of the Olympics, Greece doesn't many have many globally known athletes in part because those types of athletes are quite rare. They do have several of them with Giannis Antetokounmpo leading in that regard with tennis stars Sakkari and Tsisipas not far behind.
The former praised the latters recently saying:
"She’s amazing. She’s like a ball of fire & I love that about her. She plays with a lot of intensity. She’s a good friend of mine & I wish her the best."
On, Tsitsipas, Giannis added:
"He’s a great guy and he’s just starting right now. He is at the top of the world right now, one of best tennis players out there but he's just getting better and has a bright future."
