Smoothie king: 34 of Giannis’ most Giannis tweets

Smoothie king: 34 of Giannis’ most Giannis tweets

By

For many Milwaukee Bucks fans, Christmas came early when Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a supermax extension on Dec. 15. With the assurance of five more years of the Greek Freak came a collective sigh of relief. The dark ages of the post-Ray Allen era will not be back, at least for now.

Plus, I’m not sure I could handle the emotional toll of losing Giannis. I don’t usually connect with athletes I’ve never met before, but I’ve always felt a sort of kinship with the two-time MVP. The Bucks drafted Giannis in 2013, the same year I moved back to Wisconsin, and he seems to share my affinity for the guy with sunglasses emoji. I’d like to think we’re on a shared journey here, albeit one where he is making millions of dollars to play basketball and I am writing this article in semi-clean sweatpants.

But it’s not hard to fall in love with Giannis. The 26-year-old has an infectious, wholesome energy. He seems like a genuinely good guy. And his Twitter account is full of wide-eyed gems that are quintessentially Giannis. (And they often feature his family, including his NBA player brothers Thanasis and Kostas.) To celebrate the Freak’s commitment to Wisconsin, here are a few of the highlights:
