Giannis is leading Greece’s charge towards what they hope will be a first title since 2005 with averages of 29.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game through two outings.
“I am very blessed and grateful that we have Giannis here,” said Greece head coach Vasileios Spanoulis. “He always has the right mindset. He’s very humble. He plays for his country and loves his teammates. Like all the guys, he’s trying to win.”
And, Giannis can continue to cement his legacy among the all-time greats of Greek basketball, with the chance of perhaps breaking one of Galis’ records.
Giannis made his EuroBasket debut in 2015, but would start of his streak of 25+ points in game at the last edition in 2022 – having missed out in 2017.

How long would it take? Well, with a maximum of six more games in this edition should Greece make it to the Final, Giannis could move to 14 straight games of 25+ points.
That means he could actually tie the record in the final game of Group Phase action at FIBA EuroBasket 2029 – which will be co-hosted by Greece.
