Antetokounmpo gifts jersey to boy in wheelchair in touching moment after game with Belgium (photos)

Greece beat Belgium in Athens 85-68

Newsroom August 29 10:09

Giannis Antetokounmpo led Greece to win against Belgium (85-65) in front of a packed OAKA in Athens, and the Greek Freak again showed his love of kids by gifting his jersey to a young boy with mobility problems after the game.

The boy was eagerly waiting for Giannis in his wheelchair and the NBA star of course responded to his request and not only gave him his signed jersey but proudly took a photo with him!

Of course, those spectators who were still in OAKA burst into applause and lauded the Greek ace.
