The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo is a fascinating player. Antetokounmpo may only be in his rookie season, but the guy has garnered plenty of headlines for his freakishly large hands, his incredible 7'3" wingspan for a 19 year old, and those soccer skills. And just when we thought The Greek Freak couldn't amaze us anymore, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated tweeted out this pretty amazing story about Giannis. We'll let him tell it.
Favorite--of many--anecdotes from @G_ante34 reporting. Early in the season, Giannis took a cab to Western Union to send money home...
…after sending all the money he could to Greece, he realized he didn't have enough left for cab fare. It was game day, so he started running
…he got about a mile before a couple stopped, asked if he was the Bucks rookie. He said yes. They picked him up and dropped him at the arena
What?! Can you believe that? By the way, shout out to that random couple for coming through in the clutch.
