Greece enlisted the help of basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo in urging citizens to abide by lockdown rules as the country grapples with the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
Among other things, the NBA MVP calls on the Greeks to “play defense against the invisible enemy”, so that in the end we are “all MVP!”
Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis posted the video on his Twitter account: “During the holidays we continue the crucial fight for our health. It is time for life to take revenge. I thank Giannis Antetokounmpo who stars in this message, uniting my voice with his words: “Together, we ‘play defense’ and win our freedom again.”
Τις μέρες των γιορτών συνεχίζουμε τον κρίσιμο αγώνα για την υγεία μας. Είναι καιρός η ζωή να πάρει τη ρεβάνς. Ευχαριστώ τον @Giannis_An34 που πρωταγωνιστεί σε αυτό το μήνυμα, ενώνοντας τη φωνή μου με τα λόγια του: Όλοι μαζί, "παίζουμε άμυνα" και κερδίζουμε ξανά την ελευθερία μας. pic.twitter.com/vnIsAdoL5B
