A lot of basketball fans weren’t sure what the Milwaukee Bucks were getting into when they selected Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, but now it’s looking like they walked away with the biggest steal from the draft.
The 22-year-old Athens, Greece native is currently playing in his fifth NBA season and is putting up career-highs across the board. Through the Bucks’ first 14 games of the season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.6 points, 10 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.9 blocks per game and leads the Bucks in every category except for assists per game.
On Thursday, the 2017 NBA Most Improved Player was signing at a local Pick ‘n Save store in Wisconsin and he ended up making an entire day out of it thanks to the amount of fans who showed up just to see their favourite player for a couple of minutes.
According to Twitter user Jim Kogutkiewicz, who is a huge Bucks fan, people were lined up through 11-and-a-half aisles in the store and were there for more than three hours, but he stuck around and signed autographs for all the fans who showed up to see him even though he was only scheduled to be there for one hour.
From a frying pan to an electric guitar, fans showed up with all sorts of items for the Bucks superstar to sign and he came through for all of them.
