Giannis Antetokounmpo gets teary-eyed after sending Greece to 2024 Olympics
NY Post
Giannis Antetokounmpo was overcome with emotion after making history.
This week, a series of international basketball tournaments determined which countries qualified for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Among the 24 teams fighting over the four remaining spots was Greece, and by beating Croatia, 80-69, on Sunday, it earned the right to play in its first Olympics since 2008.
Antetokounmpo was teary-eyed shortly after the final buzzer.
Antetokounmpo had 23 points, eight rebounds and three assists in the victory, which will send him to his first-ever Olympics.
Former NBA draft lottery pick Georgios Papagiannis finished with 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting, with 16 of those points coming in the first half.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
