Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed the significance of carrying the Greek flag during the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"It's something [where] I might win another championship [in the NBA]," Antetokounmpo said, via Sam Amick of The Athletic. "I might win another MVP. Who knows? But I might never carry the flag again. So I tried, for those 45 minutes, to soak it in as much as I can."
"And going through the Eiffel Tower, and it was raining, which made it even more dramatic, seeing my mom with her phone, always, and videotaping me, it was a great experience I will never forget in my life," he added.
