The Coronavirus pandemic resulted in the suspension of the NBA. As a result, the players have a lot of free time on their hands. Fans too have the same free time and have taken to video games during self-isolation. One user Womack_forever shared a video of Giannis Antetokounmpo making a 3 pointer from near the halfway line. SportsCenter tweeted this video and Giannis was in shock at the basket his virtual character made.

the only unrealistic part is the jersey you're wearing

Giannis became a star at Milwaukee and features on a team with his brother Thanasis. He won last seasonās MVP award while with the Bucks and can commit his long term future there. However, his other brother plays for the yellow and gold uniformed team at the Staples Center.
Players these days are judged by their moves to the more competitive Western Conference. The pursuit of a title may draw him away to a team where he can claim a title sooner rather than later.Ā Could we see him don the famous jersey worn by Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille OāNeal?
Do you think Giannis will make the move to the Lakers? Let us know.
