In the final days of EuroBasket 2025, tension arose between Alperen Sengun and Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the former describing the Greek as an extraordinary player but not a good passer.

After Antetokounmpo’s response, the Greek star reached out to the Turkish player on his social media, posting a photo of the two wearing their respective national team jerseys along with a heartfelt message.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s message: “We play for the love of our countries. We play for the love of the game. We play with respect. Let’s always remember that sport is meant to unite, not divide.”
