Giannis Antetokounmpo has become one of the most beloved and feared players in the league today. Hailing from Greece, the forward has had a substantial rise to stardom. Coming into the league as a scrawny kid, the Greek Freak is now an abomination. Drafted in 2013 by the Milwaukee Bucks it’s hard to believe that the 7-footer has already spent 10 years in the league. The 2x MVP reminisced about his dreams as a rookie and how much is still left to achieve for the 28-year-old.

Always voicing strong views like the one he had after the playoff loss this season, Giannis is a man of great conviction. Consequently, with many years left under his belt and a relentless attitude, the 2021 NBA champion can only get better.

Giannis was the 13th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft. Pretty much unknown when he first moved to America, the 7x All-Star is now a household name. Posting a clip shared by ESPN on Instagram, Giannis can be seen prophesying his career.

Talking about his future self, a younger Antetokounmpo states the kind of player he will be. Sharing the clip on Instagram Stories, Giannis boasted, “I said it, I did it. We are halfway through this journey long way to go still.”
