He cannot do it alone. This is the unified message from Milwaukee Bucks fans after watching Giannis Antetokounmpo go off for 34 points on 11-of-17 shooting on Sunday in a disappointing loss to Canada, 86-79.

Antetokounmpo did everything in his power to will his team to victory but unfortunately, the lack of support was what ultimately doomed Greece in what turned out to be a defeat in their Paris Olympics debut.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans Feel for Giannis Antetokounmpo

Canada pretty much had no answer for Antetokounmpo, who scored at will in Sunday’s high-profile contest. This resulted in a team-high 34-point eruption for the Bucks talisman, who ultimately, just didn’t have enough gas left in the tank to lift his side to a victory against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Co.
For their part, the fans could not help but feel sorry for Giannis after watching him suffer defeat amid his gargantuan effort.

Giannis will keep doing his thing and he will still be a dominant force despite the opponents’ best efforts to slow him down. However, without the necessary support from his team, I just don’t see the Greeks advancing to the knockout phase of the competition.
Unless things change significantly for Greece, Antetokounmpo’s 2024 Olympic stint might be short-lived.
