From Brandon Jennings legendary "Bucks in 6" moment in 2013, to Giannis' postgame conference after winning the championship, this is the journey of a champion. Giannis is an athlete like no other which makes his story all the more unique and inspiring. Hats off to the Bucks for winning their first championship in 50 years!! Nothing but love, respect and appreciation for the Greek Freak
