Sports tourism: Giannis Antetokounmpo "touched by Greek flag in the stands"

LOS ANGELES – “I sincerely want to thank all these people who come and see me, who support me and the Bucks. Sincerely i am touched each time I see a Greek flag in the stands,” Giannis Antetokounmpo told The National Herald after leading the Bucks to a win over the Los Angeles Lakers 124-122 in overtime at the Staples Center on March 30.

“I do not just do it for myself and my family, I do it for my homeland and for you [the fans] who come and support us. You continue to support the Bucks, to come to more games, and know that I am trying to make you proud,” Giannis added when TNH asked about the support of the Greek- and not Greek- fans who follow every game.

Again in this game, Giannis Antetokounmpo was among the top players for his team with 27 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 assists, with deserving supporters Eric Bledsoe (39 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds) and Khris Middleton (28 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds).
