Greece will be in Group C alongside Estonia, Ukraine, Great Britain, Italy and Croatia. Greece will play Croatia in their first game of the group stages.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's rise to stardom
Giannis Antetokounmpo's rise to stardom has been inspiring. After an underwhelming start, Antetkoumpo established himself as a household name in his fourth season.
The Greek Freak has since continued an upwards trajectory with no signs of slowing down. Adding a new weapon to his bag every season, Antetokounmpo appears to be one of the most versatile players in the game.
Antetokounmpo displayed his true potential in the Milwaukee Bucks title run in the 2021 NBA playoffs. He looked like a man on a mission, tearing through the competition.
Heading into the NBA Finals, Giannis dominated every game. Giving highlight-worthy plays in every match, he also delivered one of the most heroic Finals performances of all time in Game 6.
The greatest closeout game in Finals history 👀🔥
A year ago today, @Giannis_An34 scored 50 points in Game 6 of the NBA Finals to win his first chip.

Although last season didn't bring the same success to Giannis and the Bucks, the superstar enjoyed one of his best individual seasons.
Heading into next season, the Bucks will be title contenders yet again. Featuring Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday alongside Antetokounmpo in his physical prime, the Milwaukee Bucks will be a threat in the East.
