A very beautiful story, showing how landed and accessible is the Giannis Antetokounbosmade known through social media a Italian family.
On the occasion of a holiday in Athens, they went to OAKA for the Acropolis And they accidentally fell on the Bucks superstar. Not only did he take pictures with them, but he made sure that the whole family invitations to the race, next to his own.
Read the post on social media, which narrates all the experience they had with the 30 -year -old ace and how he “enslaved” with his behavior and character.
“I will tell you an incredible basketball story, made of luck, passion and kindness, which happened to my family on August 19th. We were in Athens vacation, Carlo (my son) had a hope: to see Yannis Antetokounbos playing in the Acropolis Tournament (even wearing the Bucks ‘jersey with ’34’). I had bought tickets for the second game of Greece-Lyonia (only two, for me and my son because they were very expensive). On the first day, at 19, I said to go through the OAKA to see the space and not waste time on the day of the race. As soon as we got there, we didn’t know exactly what direction to take because the space is huge: we went a little accidentally, we parked somewhere, we went on and turning right there and there … the unexpected miracle: We recognize the silhouette of a giant:
We recognized him. Although the bodyguard told him no. When John saw the kids signaled closer. For us it is an absolute legend, we are fascinated by his story, my children, and I have watched the movie dedicated to him three times … I showed him all our admiration, I told him how deeply I respect his mother, I told him Carlo, my son, my son, and my son, He also introduced us to his brother Kostas. Then I told him that the next day Carlo and I would go to the race. At that point he told us: ” But you are a family, you must all come. I will have you ‘tickets”. Imagine our happiness: We had encountered one of the brightest stars in the NBA, we could express our admiration, take many photos, and even be his guests in the race.
The next day we learn where we held seats: Next to his family … We saw mom, the wife with the kids … All “normal” people, ordinary people. That was incredible. Ten days later, emotion is still as great as the desire to share this beautiful basketball story with everyone. It was an educational experience for my children, they understood how to remain landing and polite even if you are a world -class athlete. Before he says goodbye, return to Carlos and said, “Always listen to your parents, always be consistent in school and education and always watch your sister.” Apparently I cried out of emotion. Those minutes, except for an excellent feeling, we all had a great life lesson. Thanks John!”
