Everyone already knows that Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best living NBA players, but is he also on his way to becoming an Olympic champion?
It's not clear, but it's clear that Antetokounmpo is doing his best in Paris.
According to Yahoo Sports on Twitter, the Bucks icon is the last man standing during the first half of the match against Australia.
Antetokounmpo scored 15 points, going 6-of-7 from the field and also grabbed 5 rebounds.
This is very important, of course, because Greece is trying hard to win to avoid being eliminated from the Olympics.

My interest in Antetokounmpo recently shouldn't come as a surprise given these numbers.
Last season, Marco averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists on 61.1 percent shooting from the field.
He's 29 years old, and still playing the best basketball of his career.
Unfortunately for Antetokounmpo, his Bucks team ran into some problems and failed to advance past the first round of the playoffs.
This was mainly due to Antetokounmpo and teammate Damian Lillard being crushed during the postseason, which completely destroyed the Bucks.
We hope to have better luck next season.
For now, Antetokounmpo will continue to play his heart out in Paris as a way to leave his proud country.
Regardless of what happens with the Olympics, there are high hopes and expectations for the 2024-2025 season.
As the Olympics bring better results for our athletes, we hope Antetokounmpo's amazing work continues into the new season.
