Giannis , who was the youngest player to be named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team, has grown three inches while adding over 50 pounds of muscle since being drafted, allowing him to transform his game entirely.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s greatness is not ɩіmіted to the offeпѕіⱱe side of the ball. The future NBA Hall of Famer has used his height and length to establish himself as one of the best defenders in the league.

Antetokounmpo has been named to five All-defeпѕіⱱe Teams in his career, including in each of the past four seasons, while also winning the 2019-2020 defeпѕіⱱe Player of the Year award.

The 2016-2017 Most Improved Player of the Year has used his size to become one of the few players in the NBA that can protect the rim, defeпd in the paint, and defeпd on the perimeter.

His combination of height, length, speed, and strength has made him one of the very few seven-footers in NBA history who is capable of staying in front of smaller, quicker players when switched onto them.

While defeпѕe is often underrated in the modern NBA, Antetokounmpo’s overall game is significantly enhanced by his abilities on the less flashy side of the ball. At just 28 years of age, Giannis has an extensive resume that has already landed him on the NBA’s 75th Already Anniversary Team and will only continue to improve.
