Giannis Antetokounbo: "With work and sacrifice everything is done"

Clearly moved by what the Milwaukee Bucks achieved in the 2020/2021 season, the absolute protagonist of the "Deer" appeared in his statements to the White House on their way to winning the NBA title.

Giannis Antitokoumbo, as expected, "pulled all the lights on him" in the context of the champions' visit to the White House and the ceremonial meeting with US President Joe Biden.

Representing his teammates and after not failing to thank Joe Biden for his kind words, Greek Freak said: "Really, it's great. Thank you, Mr President. On behalf of the players, the staff and the organization, we are grateful for this opportunity.

A child from Sepolia, Athens, who grew up with Nigerian parents, who fought to give us everything. It is a great pleasure and honor to be in the White House to meet the President of the United States.

I want to thank our families, who are obviously a big part of who we are, because they also make great sacrifices. They may not be with us today, but they are always in our hearts.

To also thank our fans, they are simply the best in the world. They always supported us, even when we were the worst team in the NBA. We could not do without them.

For everyone out there, this is a perfect example of how hard work, sacrifice and dedication, without giving up, struggling to be good and having dreams, you can achieve great things in your life. I did this all my life and now I am in the White House. "Without hard work, none of this would be possible."
