“This is amazing,” Antetokounmpo told the young fan. “You did all this?”
By Thomas Johnson Thomas Johnson Audience editor in Sports Email Bio Follow March 29 at 3:48 PM During a recent autograph signing session, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo had an unexpected interaction with a young fan.
As he sat at the autograph table scribbling away, the 6-foot-11 MVP candidate came face-to-face with a girl in a green Bucks sweatshirt who nervously held a purple manila folder. “My 11-year-old daughter had worked on several art projects for a year and half, and kept them in a folder in the hopes to one day deliver to the Greek Freak,” Pete Stauffer wrote in the video’s caption.
In the video, you can hear Lily tell Antetokounmpo that he is her “favorite athlete” and that she wanted to give him her artwork “for a very long time.” The 24-year-old Antetokounmpo immediately looks up, smiling, before getting up and giving the young fan a hug.“This is amazing,” Antetokounmpo tells her. “You did all this?”With Antetokounmpo possibly on his way to his first MVP award, it would be hard to find a more beloved NBA star.
