‘I can sell Zion Williamson’s jersey for a high price’: Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously states what he’ll do with the Pelicans All-Star’s jersey
Giannis Antetokounmpo made a hilarious joke in the post-game presser about what he’ll do with the jersey he took from Zion Williamson.
On Thursday night, the All-Star forward had yet another mind-blowing performance against the back-to-back MVP. He put up 34 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in a 129-125 losing effort against the Bucks.
It was a great battle of the forwards between Zion and the Greek Freek. After the match got over, both the sensational players recognised each other’s talents by exchanging their jerseys with one another. When asked about the jersey swapping, Antetokounmpo had a hysterical comment. He said:
“There is a lot of value in jerseys. When I take a tech, that’s $2000, so now I have a jersey I can sell for a little bit more. If I don’t sell it I can give it to my kids and they can sell it.”
I asked Giannis why he swapped jerseys with Zion:
“There is a lot of value in jerseys. When I take a tech, that’s $2000, so now I have a jersey I can sell for a little bit more. If I don’t sell it I can give it to my kids and they can sell it.”
He did clarify he was joking 😂

‘I have never seen anyone like him’: Giannis Antetokounmpo has high praises for Zion Williamson
Zion Williamson has been getting the benefits for the hard work he’s been putting in. His game has mesmerized many fans around the world. In the league itself, many players have been in awe of the talent this 6-7, 284-pound player possess. Giannis Antetokounmpo admitted how he has never seen anyone play like Zion. He added:
“It doesn’t take one person, you gotta show bodies. When he drives the ball he has such a quick second jump. It’s someone…we’ve never seen anybody like it, I have never seen anybody like it in the past.”
Giannis’ teammate Khris Middleton too had high praises for the Pelicans forward:
“He’s such a strong and explosive player. To see him finish over Brook and Giannis at the same time is not something I’ve seen a lot, so that’s definitely a special guy over there.”
