A monster well beyond anything seen in the NBA before and an actual highlight machine. Known for his long strides, the occasional euro-step (or _gyro-step_) and the ability to hurt the rim more than any other player in the league, the Greek Freak is one of the best players in the league (arguably THE best) and virtually impossible to stop.
The Greek Freak'sreal name has been a challenge for everyone in the league to pronounce (Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greek: Γιάννης Αντετοκούνμπο, IPA: ˈʝanis adetoˈkumbo) so in his rookie year NBA sportcasters have given him the nickname "Greek Freak" to accentuate his unique physical skills: he sits at 6.11 tall (2.11m) with a 7.3 wingspan (2.21m).
- Harden is OK, but I'm liking the Greek Freak for MVP this year. Dude is unstoppable!

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine.

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
