Kostas Antetokounmpo Celebrates With Nigerian Flag

Kostas Ndubuisi Antetokounmpo, one of the Antetokounmpo brothers that play with the Los Angeles Lakers, on Sunday celebrated his team NBA win over Miami Heat with a Nigerian flag, alongside Greek’s flag, his country of birth.

Lakers won with 106 to 93 in game 6 to defeat Miami Heat 4 to 2.

A break down of the scoreboard shows Miami Heat scored 20 in the first quarter while Los Angeles Lakers edged with 28. This was followed by 36 in the second quarter as Lebron James continues to drive the entire Lakers team with both power and unstoppable intensity. The heat managed to score 16 in the quarter.

In the third quarter, Miami Heat pushed to even the quarter scoreline with 22 to 23 by Lakers. However, the team managed to up it in the final quarter by outscoring Lakers with 35 to 19 to close the game at 93 to 106.

Los Angeles Lakers won its first NBA final in 10 years shortly after Lebron James joined the team from Cleveland Cavaliers about two years ago.

Kostas Ndubuisi Antetokounmpo joined the Lakers on a two-way contract with the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Dayton Flyers before he was drafted 60th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2018 NBA draft. Philadelphia then traded his draft rights to the Dallas Mavericks before he joined the Lakers on July 13, 2018.

He made his NBA debut on March 20, 2019 against Portland Trail Blazers. Kostas is the first of his three brothers, Giannis, Thanasis and Alex, to play in the NBA finals and win a Championship.
