Greece played its last friendly game without Giannis Antetokounmpo in a match that drew only a small amount of fans.
Dimitris Itoudis would like FIBA to change the way rosters for major tournaments are constructed and gave a historical example for it 🧐

No Giannis Antetokounmpo tonight, but Thanasis and Kostas Antetokounmpo are on the floor flying around against Georgia, while Sandro Mamukelashvili is doing the same thing on the other side.
Strong start for Mamu. 6 points, 2 rebounds, a steal, a block in the first 4 minutes. – 2:19 PM

📅 On this day in 2020, the @Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo became the second player in NBA history to record at least 30p/15r in a playoff game while shooting less than 50% on FG and FT:
✅ 31 PTS
✅ 17 REB
✅ 48.0 FG%
✅ 44.4 FT%
He joined Wilt Chamberlain, who did so twice. pic.twitter.com/ICZcMHtb1G – 2:01 PM

More on this storyline
Dionysis Aravantinos: Giannis Antetokounmpo felt a discomfort in his back and for precautionary reasons he’ll miss tonight’s prep game against Turkey. -via Twitter / August 19, 2022
On the heels of his second appearance in friendly action Wednesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play against Georgia Thursday. In the latter stages of the training camp, Greece will conclude the 31st International Tournament Acropolis Aegean facing Turkey Friday. After being rested today, the Greek Freak is expected to be part of the final test before official games take over the schedule next week. -via EuroHoops.net / August 18, 2022
Timpf highlighted the fact that LeBron was second only to Giannis in the in made field-goals in the restricted per game (6.5), converting at a 75.3% clip. Giannis shot 76% from the restricted area and averaged 6.6 makes per game. “So basically, LeBron James through 19 seasons, with all the mileage on his body, with the horrific [floor] spacing that the Lakers had last year with Russell Westbrook on the court, the 22nd ranked three-point efficiency team in the league, with all of those factors working against him, he was every bit as productive and efficient getting the basket as Giannis. That’s outrageous.” -via Sports Illustrated / August 18, 2022
