2024 Olympic Games: Antetokounmpo First in Points Per Game in the Basketball Tournaments

The Greek national team was eliminated in the "quarterfinals" of the basketball tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games, with Giannis Antetokounmpo ranking first in terms of average points, scoring 25.8 per game. Though Vassilis Spanoulis' team did not make it into the top 4 to claim a medal, its leader gave his best, as the numbers confirm. Specifically, in the 4 games played by our representative team, Antetokounmpo averaged 25.8 points, a performance higher than that of any other player participating in the basketball tournament.

Of course, this is not over yet, as the final between the USA and France remains, but none of the players on either team can surpass the Greek Freak's average unless LeBron James, who is closest, scores… 84 points in the final.

Scoring Statistics:

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece) 25.8
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada) 21
  • Yuki Kawamura (Japan) 20.3
  • RJ Barrett (Canada) 19.8
  • Nikola Jokic (Serbia) 18.8
  • Franz Wagner (Germany) 18.5
  • Josh Hawkinson (Japan) 18.3
  • Bogdan Bogdanovic (Serbia) 18.3
  • Carlik Jones (South Sudan) 18
  • Santi Aldama (Spain) 17.7
