Giannis Antetokounmpo has confirmed he intends to play for Greece at this year's FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Greece has already secured their qualification for the 32-team tournament, which begins in China on August 31.
The 2006 silver medal winners will be able to call upon Athens-born NBA star Antetokounmpo, who is an MVP candidate having led the Bucks to the top of the Eastern Conference standings at the All-Star break.
Speaking in Charlotte ahead of Sunday's All-Star Game, where he will captain one of the two teams, Antetokounmpo told reporters: "Yeah, I'll be there [at the World Cup].
"Let's be healthy first. Knock on wood, [I'll] stay healthy!"
Antetokounmpo will appear in his third All-Star appearance having averaged 27.2 points, 12.7 rebounds and six assists in the 2018-19 season.
His incredible athleticism has earned him the nickname the 'Greek Freak,' a moniker that he insists he has become fond of.
"I do not know who gave me that nickname but it's been a part of me now," he explained.
"It's part of who I am. I kind of like it ... I love it."
