NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo reflected on his experience growing up in Athens, Greece.
He closed out his speech by stressing the importance of hard work.
"This is a great example that you know, hard work, sacrifices, if you dedicate yourself, waking up every single day trying to get better in anything you do, anything you love, believing in your dreams, you can accomplish great things in life," Antetokounmpo said. "I've done that my whole life, and I'm in the White House. This is awesome."
