Battling on the court, the war of words continued off the court. Alperen Sengun stated Giannis Antetokounmpo was a “bad passer”. The Greek Freak replied that he already is a winner, with his game doing the talking for him. Unfortunately, the Bucks superstar’s wife was caught in the middle and received threats via social media. Probably, this is why the beef between the two NBA stars is settled.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s EuroBasket journey took a devastating turn in the semifinals, where a dominant Turkish team thoroughly outplayed his Greek squad. A tournament-low 12 points made matters worse, and then began the back-and-forth. But it’s ended for now, with the two sharing a photo hugging each other from an NBA game, and sending a message of peace amid the hate on social media that Mariah Antetokounmpo received.
The players added the following caption.”We play for the love of our countries. We play for the love of game. We play with respect. We always remember sports are made to unite us not divide us 🇹🇷 x🇬🇷.” To maintain peace and block outside noise, the comments section of this post is turned off.
