How Giannis Antetokounmpo spotted his fake jersey
The basketball player, who was raised in Greece, spotted his fake jersey up for sale at a stall while travelling with his entourage.
Giannis exited his car to meet the trader, where he bargained for the jersey.
However, the trader, unaware of who was at the stall, stated he was selling the jersey for 7,000 naira.
"This is the crazy part, the guy giving me the jersey had no idea who I was," Giannis said.
"He knew who Giannis Antetokounmpo was, but he didn't know it was me that he was selling the jersey to. That was an even crazier experience."
