As the Milwaukee Bucks were about to win the NBA basketball championship Tuesday, people in Greece were watching closely.
With less than a minute left in the game, Yiannis Tzikas was getting ready to celebrate.
“It’s over. No one can turn this game now,” he said. His hands were shaking as he prepared to open a bottle of champagne, an alcoholic drink often served for celebrations.
