Giannis Antetokounmpo, with one of the biggest promises of Spanish basketball

Lucas Langarita, a youth player of Casademont Zaragoza and currently a scholarship student at University of Utah, has met in Salt Lake City with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who faces off against the Utah Jazz this morning with the Miami Heat. The Greek player came very close to playing for the then CAI Zaragoza after signing with the Aragonese club in December 2012 when he was 18 years old.

However, his contract required him to finish that season with Filathlitikos and he never made his debut with the team. In the summer of 2013, he was selected in the Draft and signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, a franchise where he remained for 13 seasons. There, he became one of the major stars of the NBA, won two MVP awards, and claimed the championship ring in 2021.
