During the All-Star Weekend press conference, the &#8220;Greek Freak&#8221; made a statement that caught the attention of industry insiders: his intention to eventually join a potential <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"318\">NBA Europe<\/b> project as an owner.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">When asked about the possibility of leading a franchise in the Old Continent, Giannis didn&#8217;t mince words:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-path-to-node=\"5\">\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0\">&#8220;Being an owner? 100%.

If a career as an owner doesn&#8217;t take off, Giannis isn&#8217;t ruling out other paths: <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"277\">&#8220;I could transition to a coach or I could transition to an owner.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">The idea of an NBA expansion into Europe has been a recurring theme in recent years, and having an ambassador (and potential investor) of Giannis&#8217;s caliber could be the <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"169\">turning point<\/b> to transform the project into a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the All-Star Weekend press conference, the &#8220;Greek Freak&#8221; made a statement that caught the attention of industry insiders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":177,"featured_media":458485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199,399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-483820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Giannis Antetokounmpo Dreams Big: &quot;Owner in NBA Europe?
