"When you think you are the best, you stop becoming better": Giannis Antetokounmpo on why he's still not the best player in the world 

Milwaukee Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously believes he is not recognisable while wearing a face mask at a grocery store.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players of this generation. At only 26 years of age, Antetokounmpo has already built up a Hall-Of-Fame-type resume.

In the 8 years he’s spent in the NBA, the Greek Freak has made 5 All-Star appearances, 5 All-NBA teams, won the MIP, DPOY, back-to-back MVPs, and even lifted the coveted Larry O’Brien trophy along with the Finals MVP this past season.

With such an incredible collection of accolades, his insane offensive and defensive skills, and being one of the most humble athletes in the world, the Bucks leader has one of the biggest fan followings in the league. It is safe to say, he is one of the superstars, who is pretty famous and recognized wherever he goes.

However, according to Antetokounmpo, dressing in an all-black hoodie and wearing a face mask in public will make him unidentifiable.

Recently, the 2021 Finals MVP went grocery shopping, calling it the “most relaxing thing ever”, and thought he was unidentified because of the face mask he wore.

As soon as Giannis sent out the tweet, NBA Twitter were all ready with their jokes.

Much to his surprise, the people shopping at Target figured out the 7-footer in the store was Giannis.
