Looks like LeBron James will be tuning into the Eurobasket series this off-season. Who is he rooting for? His rival, Giannis Antetokounmpo!
Rivalries can step aside during the summer break or the off-season as the NBA calls it. This is the time when enemies become friends and can be seen being happy with each other.
The best players in the world often take this time to develop their game or indulge in other competitions. This is the year the Eurobasket also takes place.
Naturally, as the NBA currently hosts a crop of European superstars, the attention might turn towards the east. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic have all said they will be playing for their nation.
There is no greater honor for players than to represent their countries and it looks as though some are ready to bring back silverware.
While the American contingent is set to miss out, they can still support their teammates and rivals. For LeBron James, it looks as though he will be flying the blue and white flag of Greece.
