Like every year, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his family are in Greece for their summer holidays, but this time it is before his obligations with the Greek National Team in the 2023 World Basketball Championship in China, where he will also face Team USA!
And carefree and comfortable vacations also need a corresponding car. Giannis, a car lover, left the Porsche he had last year and found himself at the premises of SPANOS LUXURY CARS (on Syngrou Avenue), a Land Rover and Jaguar dealership.
This time he bought a beautiful Defender 110. This version features the aluminium 6-cylinder in-line 3.0lt diesel engine with a variable geometry turbocharger running continuously above 1,500rpm and a 48V mild hybrid system.
The combination produces a power of up to 300 PS and 650 Nm of torque, with the motor being combined with an 8-speed automatic gearbox from ZF, which also has the option of selecting "short" ratios.
The big torque is available almost instantly, which is also due to the efficiency of the automatic transmission, which upshifts smoothly and without hesitation, moving the heavy British vehicle (2.4 tons) with comfort.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the versatile player of the Milwaukee Bucks, showed his teeth again this year with his excellent performance in the NBA. In the 2022-2023 regular season, Giannis has played in 63 games, averaging 32.1 minutes per game.
Giannis is shooting an amazing 55.3% from the field , with 11.2 successful shots per game on 20.3 attempts. His 3- point shooting percentage is 27.5%, with 0.7 successful 3-pointers per game from 2.7 attempts.
On shots, he has a 64.5% success rate, with 7.9 successful shots per game from 12.3 attempts. In the area of rebounds , Giannis is averaging 11.8 rebounds per game, with 2.2 offensive rebounds and 9.6 defensive rebounds. In passing , he has 5.7 assists per game. In addition, he averages 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.
One of the impressive highlights of this season was when Giannis recorded his 35th career triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the Bucks' 140-128 win over the Wizards.
So a rendezvous on the Greek beaches with the Land Rover Defender and of course in a few weeks at Mundobasket (25/8 and 10/9), where we can't wait to see him with the rest of the kids in the blue and white jersey!
