It didn’t take Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo very long to go from unknown prospect to NBA superstar.

In just his fourth season, and third as an everyday starter, the 22-year-old made his first NBA All-Star team and set career-highs in every category across the board.

The Athens, Greece native took a different path to get to the NBA and it earned him a spot in Nike’s new “Come Out of Nowhere” series.

It’s pretty crazy that Antetokounmpo first picked up a basketball 10 years ago and he’s already an NBA superstar. It’s even crazier that the 22-year-old is just getting started.
