Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best NBA players we’ve ever seen. His 50 point outburst in Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals has solidified his place in NBA lore.

Despite his great success in the NBA, Antetokounmpo doesn’t want to finish his career in the NBA. He would like to return to his home country of Greece and finish playing there.

“I’m 30 years old, I can play in the NBA until I’m 36-38. I’d like to end my career in a Greek team, why not?” Antetokounmpo said. “I don’t want to live in the United States. As soon as I leave the NBA, I want to return to Greece.

“I could end my career here, whether this team is called Filathlitikos, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, or Aris, I’m talking about all the teams now.”

 

 

Luckily for the NBA, Antetokounmpo doesn’t appear to want to leave anytime soon. Still, finishing his career in his home country would be a fitting way for The Greek Freak to close out his basketball career.
