Giannis Antetokounmpo has transformed into an international NBA superstar over the past couple of years and he has a massive fan base to show for everything he’s accomplished.
Whether it’s a trip to Milwaukee or catching the Bucks when they’re in town on a road trip, the 23-year-old attracts fans from far and wide everywhere he goes.
Tuesday afternoon’s practice was a little different for Antetokounmpo as he had a new face in the building working out with him.
The Athens, Greece native teamed up with Make-A-Wish Greece and Make-A-Wish Wisconsin to treat Dimitris Zamanis, a 15-year-old from Greece living with aplastic anemia, to an experience of a lifetime on Tuesday.
The day started with practice and that was just the beginning of a very eventful day for Zamanis, as he also got the chance to help his hero warm up before the game and got to sit courtside at the Bucks’ game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Antetokounmpo came through for his big fan as he posted 15 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in the Bucks’ 97-92 victory over the Hawks.
