Only 23 years old, Giannis Antetokounmpo aka The Greek Freak is already one of the biggest names in the NBA. A back to back NBA All Star player and an extremely unique individual.
Last year he won the Most Improved Player of the Year and now he is averaging 23.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 37.7 minutes per game.
As you can imagine, a lot of expectations are around his name and many believe that once Giannis enters his prime, he will be unstoppable. Many like to compare him with Lebron James, others see more similarities with Kevin Durant but at the end of the day one thing is for sure, he is already a superstar.
But Antetokounmpo, in a recent interview, went so far as to assert that where he plays directly influences how he plays. “I’m a low-profile guy,” he said. “I don’t like all these flashy cities like L.A. or Miami. I don’t know if I could be the same player if I played in those cities.”
What an inspiration right?
Learn more about his story on the video below as from the ones I found this one was the best to my opinion.
He is already great. Only question marks for Giannis are will he develop a reliable jumpshot, and will he become a better passer. If he does, you basicly get LeBron James
His improvement is unprecedented . Maybe we have a better version of Lebron here in a more Kevin Durant body
