Description: (Greek-Nigerian Professional Basketball Player Who Plays As a Power Forward)

Giannis Antetokounmpo, nicknamed the Greek Freak, is a Greek basketball player. He is best known for his association with the NBA basketball team, Milwaukee Bucks. He started his professional career by signing up to play for the junior squad of the Filathlitikos B.C., a Greek professional basketball club. Soon after, he became a member of Filathlitikos’s senior squad. Antetokounmpo excelled in all departments of the sport, including rebounds, assists, and blocks. His unusual and extraordinary sporting skills attracted the attention of topnotch clubs in Europe. CAI Zaragoza, a Spanish club, contracted him for four years at €400,000 per year. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo did not get the opportunity to play for Zaragoza as he was picked up by Milwaukee Bucks as a preliminary draft just when he would have taken the field for the Spanish squad. Since his contract with Zaragoza incorporated a default escape condition, he qualified to play for Milwaukee Bucks. He was the integral playmaker for Milwaukee Bucks in his third year with the NBA team. In the following year, he was named Milwaukee Bucks’ star player.
