bro he has 10 years more of basketball...lets get not in a hurry...the book has a lot more pages to fill up
His humility stems from gratitude. Knowing the journey he and his family has been through to get to where he is, he knows things could have been very, very different. Great guy.
Every Greek is so proud of this boy. Happy birthday Γιάννη.

His story and progression is so inspirational
the work he put into his body is insane. Skinny ass teenager to the literal hulk of the NBA. Dude must have spent days at a time sleeping in the gym

Ted Davis, Bucks radio announcer. He was the only one who called Giannis that, because it seemed like his name contained every letter of the alphabet.
Giannis's jumper looked so much smoother when he first got into the league. I think packing on muscle messed with his form because he looks so awkward shooting now in comparison.

@@Solznmidgood point by year 3 it's really noticeable that his shot has changed. Shame he didn't start playing earlier, he probably could have developed a real jumper. He'll always be pretty shaky there without that extra decade of fundamentals and shooting practice.

ur right, he got so much bigger it ruined his form, he had to come up with a new jumper

That was Bucks radio announcer Ted Davis. He called Giannis "The Alphabet" because it seemed like his name contained every letter of the alphabet. Only he called Giannis that.
