Watch Barack Obama try to pronounce Giannis Antetokounmpo on his visit to Greece

This is Giannis Antetokounmpo, the very good and long basketball player from Greece.

This is Barack Obama, the president of the United States, speaking in Athens, Greece on Wednesday.

This is President Obama sneaking in a shoutout to The Greek Freak ... and pausing ever so slightly to get the pronunciation right.

“Greek or American, we’re all cheering for Giannis ... Antetokounmpo ... who seems to be getting better each year.”

Not bad! But if you all out there need help, we got you.
