Giannis Antetokuonmpo

From the Set Modern Legends of the Court

Few sports stories are as inspiring as that of Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Discovered as a gangly teenager playing on the courts around his native Athens, Greece, he became the 15th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft. Then he went to work--improving his body and improving his game to evolve into one of the best players in the league. Now known simply as Giannis, the skinny kid from Athens transformed into the Greek Freak, an athletic anomaly who is a nightmare to defend. Giannis Antetokounmpo examines the journey of the six-foot-eleven star with eight straight NBA All-Star game appearances, back-to-back NBA MVP awards and one NBA championship trophy on his mantle. Each title in the Modern Legends of the Court series engages young readers with fun and interesting special elements and bold, easy-to-understand graphics. Players' careers are detailed from beginning to end in an informative and entertaining narrative that readers will enjoy.
