Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks has been in the NBA for 9 years now and has racked up a slew of huge victories.
The Greek Freak is a six-time All-NBA player, a five-time All-Defensive selection, the 2016-17 Most Improved player, two-time MVP, and a six-time All-Star too.
Oh, and he also won the Finals with the Bucks and was named the Finals MVP.

Antetokounmpo is also a member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, which is a huge feat.
It’s made all the more impressive because he is the youngest player on the team.
Antetokounmpo is just 27 years old, a few years behind Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The man has done so much in such a short amount of time and still has so many years left in him.
What will Antetokounmpo do next?
How Far He’s Come
In his first season, Antetokounmpo averaged 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.
Last season, he was at 29.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 5.58 assists.
The man was already making progress during his second year in the league but there were a few people who claimed he was too slim, too weak, and not capable of nailing perimeter shots.
Antetokounmpo heard the complaints about him and got to work, digging deep to improve his game and enhance his skills.
These days, he looks positively menacing because of his physical build and is much more consistent from every side of the court.
He has also become a team leader for his Bucks, a role that doesn’t come easily to every All-Star.
Antetokounmpo will surely earn many more honors during the rest of his career.
However, right now he has one goal looming large: winning another Finals.
