  Antetokounmpo recorded 34 points (11-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-15 FT), five rebounds and two assists in Saturday's 86-79 loss to Canada in Group A of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Antetokounmpo was an unstoppable force for the Canadian team on the defensive end, but he wasn't able to carry the team to victory on his own, as no other Greek player reached the 20-point mark. It's not a surprise to see Antetokounmpo operating as Greece's go-to player on offense while handling a big usage rate, and that will undoubtedly be the case in the team's second game of the group stage against Spain on Tuesday.
