All the tension started when Turkey defeated Greece 94-68 in the semi-finals of EuroBasket in an embarrassing fashion. Sengun finished the game with 15 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, while Ercan Osmani held Antetokounmpo to 12 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists.

Following Alperen Sengun’s comments exposing Giannis Antetokounmpo’s alleged weakness, the dynamic between the teams became a lot more hostile. Even Giannis Antetokounmpo threw indirect shade on Alperen Sengun despite claiming he was taking the high road.

Just a few weeks ago, the two players were linked in trade rumors, and now, they were building a fierce rivalry until they realised that it was not the objective of basketball that they had envisioned. Nothing about sports should make the families of these players worry for their safety. Hence, the two players took the best decision to end the hostility and attempt to build a bridge between the two countries.
