Fantastic game by Giannis, the body language reminds me of his 2019 year, confident with superb defense.

I missed this Giannis!

Insane.

Did Greece win?

How did he get only 1 rebound? SMH

I get not wanting Giannis to play due to injury risk, but I really love watching him play in these settings.

For me, it’s not the pressure cooker of the playoffs, nor the tireless contextualization of the regular season - you just get to watch him dominate, and it’s fun as hell.

Can't get rebounds without Brook boxing out for him

Pretty nice game from him overall.
Really liked his defense tonight.

This is a crazy play, and the craziest part might be that he lands it upright with no issues despite one leg getting caught over a dude's doggone shoulder.

Every once in awhile I catch a Greece highlight and remember how **** good Calathes was in college.

No offence taken. Screw the Olympics, I want another chip.

Looks like he'll be playing Saturday in a showdown with Slovenia (Luka).

Antetokounmpo K. got injured on the knee, he won't play in the second half

Explains his low minutes. Hopefully Kostas is alright.

How are we watching Giannis vs Luka?

Only legit option i'm seeing is subscription to Courtside 1891 on DAZN.

Kostas won't play the rest of the qualifying tourney. Patellar tendon injury.

You can also try ertflix.gr, which is the Greek national tv station. I think it's free, you just need an account and of course it's in Greek.

Can't find anything more about Kostas, will he be able to play in the Olympics if they advance or is it even more serious?
Also, I swear Kostas could be a legit NBA role player but whenever he strings together some matches, he gets injured again and again and again...

Oh no are we down to Alex for our Antetokounmpo brother quota......
