Greece comes up short in Giannis vs Jokic duel but handles Belgium | Gyro Step

Gyro Step Podcast Network: Covering all things Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Greek national team are giving Milwaukee Bucks fans quite the action-packed offseason as Giannis, Thanasis and company took on Nikola Jokic and the Serbian national team in Belgrade last week as part of Greece's FIBA World Cup qualification campaign this summer. Giannis and Jokic both basically scored a point per minute and Giannis dropped 40 points but Greece still came up short against the red-hot Team Serbia in overtime. Greece's second World Cup qualifier game of the window was less dramatic, as Giannis dominated as per usual in front of his home crowd and the Greek team breezed to a win over Belgium, putting the squad in good position to qualify for the World Cup that will take place next summer.

Rohan Katti and Ti Windisch of the Gyro Step covered those games then previewed EuroBasket, which kicks off this Friday for Greece and should see the Greek team earning the top seed in their group before the knockout games begin. It's covered in the episode, but here's the full schedule for the Greek team (all games will be broadcast on ESPN+, all times given are Central): Friday, September 2 vs Croatia at 9:50 am; Saturday, September 3 vs Italy at 2:50 pm; Monday, September 5 vs Great Britain at 9:50 am; Tuesday, September 6 vs Ukraine at 9:50 am; Thursday, September 8 vs Estonia at 9:50 am,.
