Giannis Antetokounmpo praises 100 Thieves star Kristopher London for his dedication and effort

Back on March 8, 2021, Kristopher London messaged 100 NBA stars and asked them the best workout routine. He contacted popular NBA stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Troy Brown, KJ Martin, Jaren Jackson JR., Damian Lillard, and many others. Interestingly, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo also replied to Kristopher, and he was too shocked to react to his message.

Naturally, anyone would lose their mind if the famous “Greek Freak,” responds to them out of nowhere. He said, “OH MY GOD. Oh, sh*t!! He sent me a long message, bro. Guys, ah, no, I’m shaking. I’m making this my own video. No, bro. This is the motivation that I fu**ing needed.”

Although Kristopher didn’t show Giannis’ reply in the video, it’s completely obvious that he got too motivated after reading his message. After a long one-year journey, Kristopher never doubted himself, and thanks to Giannis’s challenge, he kept moving forward. Recently he shared his one-year progress with his fans and how Giannis responded.
