Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most dominant players the league has ever seen. Rightfully nicknamed “The Greek Freak”, the Bucks forward is a tough force to reckon with on both sides of the paint. Being a two-way superstar, Giannis is well-equipped with all the abilities to be a pest on the defensive end and score points at will, offensively.
At only 27 years of age, Giannis has put up an incredible Hall-Of-Fame type resume. Over a span of 9 years, the 6-foot-11 has made 6 All-Star appearances, 6 All-NBA selections, 5 All-Defensive selections, won the 2017 MIP, 2 MVPs, a DPOY, an NBA championship, and the Finals MVP.
Giannis was drafted 9 years ago today. He already has an all time resume:
