Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka the Greek Freak, is arguably the best player in the world, all at the age of 26. Giannis, coming off the highs of a championship less than a week ago, has already publicized his goals to run it all the way back once again in 2022. In fact, the Greek superstar is already looking to the future, aiming to add to a trophy cabinet already holding 2x MVPs, 1 DPOY, 1 Title and F-MVP.

But, taking over as the face of the league will have to wait. Having won his first title just over 10 days ago, Antetokounmpo is already back across the Atlantic. The Greek Freak is the perfect example of the ideal family man in the modern NBA. Additionally, with the remaining 2 Antetokounmpo brothers joining Kostas as NBA champions, there will be no awkward dinners this time around!

Giannis Antetokounmpo not after the “face of the NBA” tag

Giannis recently addressed all the noise surrounding the different tags he will enter next season with. Having averaged 35.2ppg/13.2rpg in his 1st NBA Finals, Antetokounmpo now arguably stands face to face with the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

And even though injuries marred this season, Antetokounmpo has ascended to the next level. His 2021 season now justifies the argument for putting him on equal footing in the debate over best player in the world.
