Giannis Antetokounmpo always wears his heart on his sleeve when he is on the basketball court, which is why he was very emotional after helping Greece reach the Paris Olympics on Sunday. 

A series of basketball tournaments overseas determined the fate of multiple countries playing in the Olympics, and one of the four remaining spots in the Games went to Greece, who defeated Croatia, 80-69, for the right to compete for medals.

It is the first time Greece qualified for basketball in the Olympics since 2008, and the Milwaukee Bucks star was seen unable to hold back tears after the victory, as he is set for his first Olympics representing his country.

"I have never cheat the game…See you in Paris," Antetokounmpo captioned his X post with the photos, which also included a praying hands emoji.
