Shaquille O’Neal tries to speak Greek to Giannis Antetokounmpo! (hilarious video)

Someone needs a bit more practice...

Newsroom August 26 10:57

Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to win the title of the best defender of the year and during his award something really funny took place with Shaquille O’Neal as the protagonist.

The legendary center tried not so successfully to speak Greek to the Greek Freak, saying “Congratulations, I am proud of you”, with Giannis trying to understand what he was saying to him, while the others on the panel could not stop laughing.
