Giannis shares a straightforward relationship with everybody associated with the Bucks franchise and the NBA. So his humor also comes from the Greek player speaking up about things as he sees them.

Giannis Antetokounmpo messing around during Media Day

During his media day photoshoot, Giannis was in conversation with the admins of the “Bucks in Six” fan page. He stepped aside from his photoshoot to showcase his new customized shoes the Zoom Freak 3’s. He asked them who they were and when he got their response he hilariously said, “Bucks in Six? You guys have no followers. How many followers you guys have?” 

The hilarious ‘freak’ from Greece is also a fashion icon throughout the NBA community. His personalized custom line of shoes from Nike called the Zoom Freak series have been a staggering success.

“One of the hallmarks of his athleticism is transferring energy quickly from leg to leg to maneuver his body through gaps, said Ross Klein, Sr. Creative Director for Men’s Performance Footwear at Nike. “Giannis works his foot like a gas and brake. He also works all different angles of his foot as he’s driving to the basket, so we wanted to contour the design to fit the way he transitions from step to step.”
While Giannis’ stellar performance in the NBA overshadowed the original shoe release, he now showcases it like it’s his baby. The results speak for themselves. Were the shoes helpful in Giannis’ success in the Finals? From the looks of it, they sure were.
