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.
