Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting better at his job every year. Since he was drafted 15th overall by the Bucks in 2013, the 6’11” Greek Freak has improved in nearly every statistical category year over year–this year’s numbers: 23.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists per contest. At just 22 years old, this kid could be first team All-NBA before he’s legally permitted to rent a car. Wild.
The kid’s got some charisma too. Just seems like a chill ass dude. Giannis teamed up with the bros over at Mountain Dew to mess with some unsuspecting Bucks fans in Milwaukee in honor of Aprils Fools.
The Greek Freak appeared on a giant, interactive bus shelter panel that are typically intended for injury lawyer ads (“Have you or a loved one been stranded on the toilet without toilet paper? You could be entitled to compensation!”) Giannis personally interacted with several fans who couldn’t be more thrilled to see him. Like this looney tune.

The cherry on the cake came when Giannis’ idol, Allen Iverson, appeared on the screen to dap him up for the impact he’s having on the game at such a young age. Not a bad day when you get to screw with strangers and get praise from a dude whose poster you used to hang on your bedroom wall. Good day for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
