Giannis Antetokounmpo is in his own right, one of the most dominant physical specimens in the NBA at the moment.
The “Greek Freak” who turns out for the Milwaukee Bucks is known for his incredible stature and his sheer dominance on the court because of his power combined with his agility.
However, Antetokounmpo did not always look the same in fact, he looked nothing like he does right now.
A video of Giannis Antetokounmpo has recently emerged from his college days, which has gone viral on social media platforms as fans are finding it hard to believe that it is the same guy who is known for being one of the most dominant forces in the NBA and a real menace to come up against.
In the video, a young Antetokounmpo (reportedly from his college days) was performing a dance routine commonly known as the “Dougie”, and his physique looked nothing like it does right now.
The 27-year-old looked like an average skinny teenager in the video, and nothing like the 6’11” and 242-pound-heavy monster that he is right now. The video stands testament to how far the Greek Freak has come in his career growing from a skinny rookie to a prime athlete.
The Greek Freak has come a long way since his “Dougie” days.
Being drafted into the NBA in 2013 after being selected as the first overall pick for the Milwaukee Bucks, Antetokounmpo has played his whole NBA career for the Bucks picking up several team and personal accolades along the way.
While Giannis Antetokounmpo won back-to-back MVP awards in 2019 and 2020, he finally got Championship glory in 2021 as he lifted the NBA Championship with the Bucks also winning the Finals’ MVP along the way.
The six-time NBA All-Star is now one of the most decorated players in the game, and at only 27, he has a long way to go in his career and plenty of medals to add to his ever-growing collection.
