Giannis Will Not be Watching USA Basketball Because He Has No Interest in Paying For It

USA Basketball is not free. Giannis wanted to watch Team USA basketball take on Iran at the Tokyo summer Olympics, but unfortunately that was not an option. A little too much money, according to the wealthy NBA superstar.

What time is the USA team playing tonight and which channel?🙏🏽

When he found out he would have to subscribe to The Athletic in order to watch it, he had zero interest.

If I got to pay nevermind… https://t.co/6A1xhuDitp

We can’t imagine the subscription fee, which we believe to be $9.99, would be outside of Giannis’ budget, but I can’t blame him.

Between all the streaming platform on online paywalls, who really needs another subscription fee??

No one.
