Giannis 1 of 8 NBA Finals players with international ties
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) The NBA Finals feature seven internationally born players, with none bigger than Giannis Antetokounmpo.
We know some of the more well-known international basketball star names Hakeem Olajuwon, Dirk Nowitzki or Yao Ming, and in these finals, Giannis Antetokounmpo is just continuing a longstanding tradition of international stars making the game better.
Matt Brabants oversees the NBA s global media distribution, making sure that these finals reach 215 countries. More than 100 international players from 47 countries started this season on NBA rosters this year. The global popularity of the game is at an all-time high at the moment, and I ve seen that momentum build over the last decade, Brabants said. It s not only the number, but the impact they re making at such a high level. And you couldn t think of a better example than Giannis and what he s doing in the finals.
