Oshoala was recognized by the Golden State Warriors which is the same area where her team Bay FC is located.
In the footage, Antetokounmpo—known as the "Greek Freak" for his extraordinary athleticism on the court—can be seen juggling a soccer ball with ease, wearing knee braces and casual athletic wear.
His skilful footwork was honed from his childhood dreams of becoming a soccer player.
The Bucks star’s love for football stems from his father, a former soccer player, and his early aspirations before basketball took centre stage.
Antetokounmpo is of Nigerian descent and holds dual citizenship, having received his Nigerian passport in 2015.
