Giannis Has Priceless Reaction To Shaq Trying To Speak Greek

Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the 2019-2020 Defensive Player of the Year on the pregame show.

In addition to thanking his teammates and family, Giannis also had the best reaction to Shaq trying to congratulate him in Greek.

He actually said "congrats I'm proud of you" but he made it sound like a Harry Potter spell

This dude Shaq sounds like he tryna summon a demon💀

[salj]

“Did you understand my Greek brotha?” 🤣

[marlkalone]

Giannis looks like he's in one of those videos where he's making a ransom demand with his henchmen behind him.

Shaq said "Akumpo you're literally 11'14"

Shaq said "Congratulations I'm proud of you"! (Συγχαρητήρια είμαι περήφανος για εσένα)
Dr.O'Neal your gesture was much apreciated by your Greek fans.

To the guy wearing the "Silence is Violence" shirt, have you heard Shaq try to speak Greek?

[mravalik]

As someone who's learning Greek, I can side with Shaq, because I sounded like that as a beginner, but now it is humorous but also have to give props to people who at least make an attempt to speak Greek 😂🙏

TNT staff: (Giving Shaq a script) Here's how to say congratulations in Greek. Do you know how to pronounce it?
Shaq: I've seen that before
TNT staff: Okay
Giannis: appears
Shaq: Sink caria teria ima peri foniets niosenya
Giannis: ??

See you in 2034 when this is recommended to everyone out of nowhere.

The NBA not the same without the TNT crew😂

“congratulations, i am proud of you” is the exact translation but i had to hear it 3 times to understand it😂

This is a historic season by Giannis. He won DPOY and we all know he is going to win MVP.

[peteng]

“Congratulations, I’m proud of you” is what Shaq TRIED to say 😂😂😂

[nvisible]

When Giannis started mumbling, 'yea, uhh, I did a little bit". I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[arseni.s]

On behalf of the Greek Island Cyprus, we appreciate the effort Shaq, but I’m afraid you’re gonna need a lot more work 😂

[fieldregister]

I just love how he’s speaks English like a Greek with the Greek accent! Gold!
