Giannis Antetokounmpo is widely regarded as one of the best players in the game of basketball right now, but as it turns out, the Greek Freak could be a brilliant soccer player as well.
It turns out that not only is Antetokounmpo a brilliant basketball player but he could do a good job with a soccer ball as well.
The Milwaukee Bucks superstar showed one of his hidden talents recently when he visited the Estadio Giuseppe Meazza – more commonly known as the San Siro – for a UEFA Champions League game featuring Inter Milan against Bayern Munich.
Antetokounmpo was in Milan for a EuroBasket 2022 as he has been on national duty over the past month of so, and being the soccer fan he is – he couldn’t turn down the opportunity of going to visit one of the most fabled stadiums in the sport to watch a top tier European soccer game.
So when he took to the hallowed turf of the Milan stadium, Antetokounmpo said he just had to see his first ever Champions League game – and also added that he would be a soccer player if he could not be a basketball player.
Not only that, the Greek Freak also showed off his ability with the soccer ball – and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he did show a fair few bit of tricks and some.
Antetokounmpo showed his ability on the soccer ball which stunned many of his fans online.
Giannis took part in a keepy uppy drill with his friends on the pitch following the game where Bayern defeated the hosts; and it honestly felt like he would fit right into a soccer game.
The Greek international’s touches on the soccer ball felt way too natural for an athlete from another sport as he effortlessly kept the ball in the air – but he truly stunned the online NBA community when he pulled off a no-look flick that most professional footballers would be proud of.
