Giannis Antetokounmpo showed off his soccer skills and jokingly asked whether the Saudi Arabia football league need a striker.

Giannis can be seen juggling the ball for around ten seconds before he ultimately loses control.

Hundreds of followers on Twitter responded to the star. One said: “You made the wrong joke buddy they are already formulating a 500 million offer to the Bucks.” Another user pleaded to chose Barcelona instead of Saudi Arabia. “With your will, you can succeed at anything you do, boy. You just need the opportunity,” wrote another.

The NBA star continues to spend his offseason doing his own thing and finding his way onto social media in the meantime. He has spent most of his time in his hometown, Athens, Greece with his family.

For Antetokounmpo basketball rules over soccer

In the Greek capital, he has been teaching the children at the Antetokounbros Academy to play basketball.

The athlete dedicated some of his time to grassroots basketball and shared some of his skills and knowledge with children at the open basketball court in Athens.

“Just like the good old days!” tweeted Antetokounmpo. “A ball, a hoop and some sun.” The basketballer and philanthropist also shared images of himself coaching children on the basketball court in Athens.

Basketball has been an immensely popular sport in Greece since the Greek men’s national team won the 1987 EuroBasket in Athens. Giannis Antetokounmpo, nicknamed the “Greek Freak” and his brothers, are among the country’s most famous athletes.

According to the official website, the vision of the Antetokounbros Academy, founded by Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brothers, is “to provide children from vulnerable social groups with the opportunities they lacked when growing up, and let kids experience the power of sport to change lives.”

In practice the academy consists of “a program to help boys and girls (aged 10-16) and aspiring coaches (aged 18-25) realize their sporting potential, gain life skills and become better citizens.”

While in Athens Antetokounmpo has bought a massive new home for the whole family, including his mother and brothers, in the leafy suburb of Psychiko in Athens.

According to a report in Proto Thema, he bought the futuristic apartment building for an estimated 10 million euros ($11 million),

The newspaper says that the property is located on a plot of 1500 sq.m. It has published a video where Giannis is seen moving belongings to the new house.

But, Milwaukee Bucks fans should not be alarmed. Giannis will most likely be returning to the Bucks with a vengeance next year after Milwaukee’s very disappointing first-round exit.

He still has a good amount of work to do to put himself in conversation with the all-time greats, and it is highly unlikely that he is happy with just the one NBA Finals ring he has so far.

After this season’s playoff debacle against the Miami Heat, Giannis and the Bucks are going to be gunning for a ring every night next year.
