RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, leading Greece to a 92-89 win over Finland in the bronze medal game at EuroBasket on Sunday.
It was Greece's first EuroBasket medal since winning bronze in 2009.
“We did it. This is probably one of the biggest accomplishments that I’ve ever accomplished as an athlete,” said Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks star and a past NBA champion and MVP. “I know I’ve won an NBA championship, but there’s no feeling like representing your national team and representing 12 million people that breathe and live this national team. This is probably the greatest accomplishment so far in my life.”
It was the sixth time that Greece finished on the podium at the EuroBasket, with two golds, one silver and three bronze medal
