Antoine Griezmann, the most basketball player of footballers

Antoine Griezmann ends his career with the French team. Beyond a career that places him very high in the hierarchy of Blues legends, Grizou is a true fan of the orange ball who continues to demonstrate his passion for basketball whenever he has the opportunity.

I love Derrick Rose. Who else than Antoine Griezmann to think of the leader of the Bulls in the middle of celebrating a world champion title? Person. Well the symbol of a player as passionate about the floors as he is about the lawns.

Derrick Rose and Antoine Griezmann, never too far away, even to say goodbye.

For us, basketball fans, Antoine Griezmann is not only the midfielder who moved us in 2014 after the elimination of the Blues against Germany or the one who helped unite on a magnificent evening in July 2018. No. Antoine Griezmann is also a basketball fan. As soon as he can be close to a hardwood floor, he is. Whenever he has the opportunity to cross the Atlantic to see a match, he does it. Grizou could be seen near the Barclays Center, TD Garden and Madison Square Garden. If the French legend’s wish is to end his career in MLS, it is certainly to be as close as possible to the show offered by the NBA.

Mister Alert Medal, who ignited the Olympics on social networks, is not just a simple observer, he has a touch of touch once a ball leaves his magic feet to reach his hands. A nice shot from his right wrist capable of shaking the nets as he has posted numerous times on social networks.

Among the favorite players of the French number 7? Derrick Rose of course, but also Isaiah Thomas and there are many points in common between IT and Grizou. Two players far from being physically impressive, but who, once they have the ball in their hands or feet, are real killers. If the Boston pocket leader had a whirlwind career in the NBA, he left his mark on the Great League just like Antoine Griezmann did on the French team.

An affection for the NBA that the superstars of the Great League reciprocate rather well, like Draymond Green who showed up at a Playoffs match, in 2023, with the jersey of our national Grizou.

Do you want another sign of the true passion that Antoine Griezmann has for our sport? Head to his trophy cabinet. With his lifelong colleague, La Pioche, Paul Pogba, he designed champion rings to celebrate the World Cup won in 2018. Last February, Memphis Depay gave him another ring for his goal record with his club. Atlético de Madrid. Grizou therefore has more rings in his trophy cabinet than Paul George, James Harden and Russell Westbrook combined and that’s beautiful. If you don’t see a true NBA fan there, we don’t know what else to tell you.

Grizou retires internationally just after the departure of his favorite player Derrick Rose. So… “There is no chance, there is only Eden Hazard” as someone else would say.
