In a trending video, Greek-Nigerian professional basketball player, Giannis Antetokounmpo is seen buying the counterfeit of his jersey at Balogun Market in Lagos during his 2023 visit to Nigeria.
The experience was shared in recently released WhatsApp short documentary titled “Ugo: A Homecoming Story,” that went viral on Wednesday.
The clip captures the moment Giannis visited Balogun market and negotiated for his fake jersey.
The basketball player spotted his counterfeit jersey for sale while traveling with his entourage.
Exiting his car, Giannis bargained for the jersey with the trader, who was unaware of his identity.
Giannis recalled, “The guy giving me the jersey had no idea who I was.
“He knew Giannis Antetokounmpo but didn’t recognise it was me he was selling the jersey to. That was an even crazier experience.”
In 2023, Giannis Antetokounmpo, raised in Greece, made his first visit to Nigeria alongside his mother, Veronica Antetokounmpo.
