Giannis Antetokounmpo: Nigerian-born NBA star gets signed jersey from Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Greek-Nigerian professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo, is back on social media.

Antetokounmpo farewelled Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a special way when the Swede retired from football.

A message by Antetokounmpo on social media to Ibrahimovic on his retirement said, "Lions don’t compare themselves with humans. -Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"Congrats on the unbelievable career my friend"

Zlatan, who appreciates the Greek NBA star immensely, sent him a signed jersey with a message.

The signed jersey made the NBA champion pose like a little kid for the camera while holding it in his hands.

Giannis received a message from Ibrahimovic on the signed shirt that said, "To Giannis, with all love and success! You are the best".

On Instagram, Giannis captioned the photo with a message that said, "When you are on vacation and the GOAT send you a jersey!!"

Ibrahimovic responded to Antetokounmpo on Instagram with a message that said, "Next is Greek dinner but you pay."

After a difficult season in which he underwent knee surgery and only made four Serie A appearances, Ibrahimovic scored in one of them.

At age 41 and after a fruitful career, the Sweden international made the decision to hang up his boots.

Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, is now training with the Greek national basketball team ahead of his participation at the 2023 FIBA World Cup in the Philippines later this year.
