Biography
Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo (born Adetokunbo; December 6, 1994) is a Greek and Nigerian professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His size (girth/length), speed, strength, and country of origin have earned him the nickname "Greek Freak". He is widely regarded as the greatest power forward of all time as well as the greatest player of all time. One of the most decorated players in NBA history, Antetokounmpo won consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player Awards in 2019 and 2020. Along with his MVP award, he was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2020, becoming only the third player, after Michael Jordan (1988) and Hakeem Olajuwon (1994), to win both awards in the same season. In 2021, Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to their first NBA championship since 1971 and was named Finals MVP.
