In his postgame remarks after the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Orlando Magic on Saturday, Giannis Antetokounmpo shared a few words on the tragic passing of actor Chadwick Boseman.

Boseman, who memorably portrayed T'Challa in “Black Panther” and Jackie Robinson in “42,” died Friday after a four-year bout with colon cancer. He was 43.

“Praying for his family. May God rest his soul. … Tough. Tough. The year of 2020 has been up-and-down…for everybody,” the Bucks star said, per Ben Golliver of the Washington Post.

“He left so much behind. Great actor, great human being. I had a chance to meet him. We're definitely going to miss him.”

“Black Panther” shattered all sorts of outdated ideas in Hollywood about superhero movies. The movie grossed over $1.3 billion at the global box office and changed perceptions about the artistic quality of comic book movies and who could star in them. “Black Panther” earned six Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Picture.

T'Challa may be a fictional superhero, but he has nonetheless inspired people all over the world and set an example for courage and thoughtful leadership.

Boseman also portrayed Black historical figures such as Thurgood Marshall (“Marshall”), James Brown (“Get On Up”) and Floyd Little (“The Express”). The late actor was close to the NBA community, and multiple players expressed their condolences after his shocking death.

The Bucks and Magic also held a moment of silence for Boseman, former NBA player Clifford Robinson, and legendary coach Lute Olsen — all of whom have passed away in recent days.

To recall, Boseman assisted his friend, Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo, for a “Black Panther” themed dunk in the 2018 slam dunk contest.

Clearly, like Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, the whole NBA will forever remember Chadwick Boseman.
