With the 2023-24 NBA season and the 2024 NBA Draft in the rearview mirror, Giannis Antetokounmpo has one thing on his mind: helping his native Greece qualify for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Greece will compete in one of the 2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs), a "last chance" for teams to win their way into the Olympics. Antetokounmpo and his teammates have an inherent advantage, too — the Greek city of Piraeus will host a tournament. The other three tournament locations are Latvia, Puerto Rico and Spain.
Of course, having Giannis and his brother, Kostas, is also an obvious advantage. Still, Greece will need to get past a solid Dominican Republic team in Group B, then potentially face Croatia or Slovenia in the final round. That's quite a tough road to the Olympics.
Let's get you prepped with Greece's full schedule and roster for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

When are the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments?
- Dates: Tuesday, July 2-Sunday, July 7
Each country participating in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs) will tip off with group play during the week. Then, the two top teams in each group will face off in the semifinals. The teams that advance past the semis will face each other in the final round, with the winner punching its ticket to the Paris Olympics.
Eight men's hoops teams have already qualified for the Olympics. The four OQTs serve as a "last chance" for other teams to qualify. The four winning teams of the OQTs — in Greece, Latvia, Puerto Rico and Spain — will join the eight teams already set to compete in Paris.
