Milwuakee Bucks' cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo explains why is Greek Derby the best in the Euroleague, whilst also praising the Serbian Derby as well.

Giannis stands with Greek Derby, but also shows love for the Serbian Derby as well:
"Olympiacos-Panathinaikos is the biggest derby. I love Zvezda-Partizan, but I feel Olympiacos-Panathinaikos is a more unique experience. These are the two biggest derbies, both are unique experiences, but I'm Greek, I have to support Greek teams."
Giannis was also asked to describe the feeling of witnessing those derbies live in the arena:
"Crazy, crazy. Absolute madness. It's fun though, it's a different atmosphere, I wish the NBA had an atmosphere like that, but it doesn't. If you haven't experienced it before, it will affect you, so try to make sure you're safe, it's a derby," Giannis teases Ellis.
"Okay, I'm kidding, but you'll definitely feel a strange feeling, it is something unique that you will enjoy," Antetokounmpo concludes.
