"The Greek Freak" Entices NBA

Antetokounmpo at 18-years-old, is the 15th youngest baller ever, as well as the youngest since the NBA determined a rookie age limit nine years ago.

Known as "The Greek Freak" in NBA circles, his perserverance, rawness and pure athleticism reveal his future potential. Last May, the player was granted Greek citizenship in the nation which he grew up in. His Nigerian parents immigrated to Greece in 1991, due to its distressed economy. Antetokounmpo now lives in Milwaukee with his parents and two brothers.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Larry Drew claimed of his 13-58 winning team regarding the Greek athlete, "It's been sort of a blessing in disguise the way our season has somewhat turned out because it's really given him an opportunity to play...Had we been healthy from the very beginning, he may not have played ... he's made the most of the time that he's played."

Antetokounmpo is predicted to have an extremely successful NBA career, due to his electrifying energy and dedication to the game. As Giannis Antetokounmpo or "The Greek Freak" explains, "When I go out there, I try to bring some energy, play hard every day and every night. Just play hard".
