Enormous hands as well.

This picture says a lot about Antetokoumpo's freakish leaping abilities

Did the guy in blue actually put that much arc on the shot from that distance just to get it over Antetokounmpo's reach? That must have looked ridiculous watching it live

No idea to be honest... I saw this pic posted on twitter by Jonathan Givony from Draft Express.

He definitely has huge potential and I think the Bucks took a good decision. Congrats or as they say in Greek "syncharitiria"

Here's an interview with the Director of Scouting for Milwaukee regarding Antetokounmpo:

The way the Greeks spell his name is just too damn ugly. The Greek alphabet has no D and B so his name became Antetokoumpo instead of Adetokunbo.
Why isnt Vladimir Jankovic name written Vlantimir Giankovits officially, instead as well?

The reason why I will be watching a few Bucks games online this season.

Adetokounbo or Antekounmpo it still sounds tha same in almost every language.Good luck over there Giannis you have some unique physical talents

There are only a few players in the world that could have made that play......and none of them are 18 years old except Giannis. I still believe he will be the best or one of the best players from this rookie class in 4-5 years. Every basketball expert or person I trust, including myself, doesn't understand why the Bucks aren't giving him more playing time.

Indeed! Giannis has so much potential! I do believe that with all the hard word he invests in and due to his competitive nature and having lived through a lot of adversities in his life in Greece as an illegal immigrant he will succeed and become a great NBA player in the near future...
I don't know if the Bucks are still hesitant and don't want to place too much pressure on their rookie and expect him to deliver great performances. Maybe it's also he came directly to the NBA from a second division team in Greece.

Very nice read about Giannis and the Antetokoumpo family regarding the struggles and adversities they faced while living in Greece and how basketball and coach Spiros Velliniatis changed everything for the young teen when he introduced him to basketball.
