Giannis Antetokounmpo speaks out on the 'Greek Freak' nickname origin

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, known as the "Greek Freak", has spoken out on the origin of the nickname. Speaking during his Thursday morning appearance on Capture Sports Marketing's Athletes Doing Good Radiothon with his teammate Pat Connaughton on ESPN Wisconsin, Bucks star said: "First of all, the nickname is really good. I like it. "I don't remember the first time I heard about it -- it was probably my rookie year -- but I really don't know who came up with it. "I just went on the court one day and I had like a crazy dunk or a crazy block and after that everyone started calling me the Greek Freak. So it stuck by me, I love it and it's a cool nickname." source - ESPN
