NIKE, NIKE MESH JERSEY, SIZE 48 (+4 LENGTH)
This away ‘Icon Edition’ jersey was worn in the 1st half by Giannis Antetokounmpo on Christmas Day, when the Milwaukee Bucks played the New York Knicks.
Antetokounmpo recorded a double-double, finishing with 32 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. The Bucks lost to the Knicks, 129-122.
Nicknamed the ‘Greek Freak’ because of his home country and freakish athleticism, Giannis Antetokounmpo is arguably the league’s most dominant player. Beginning his professional career with the Milwaukee Bucks after being selected 15th overall in the 2013 NBA Draft, Antetokounmpo quickly emerged as a game-changing player with his extraordinary athleticism and versatility.
At just 29 years old, Antetokounmpo’s resume is already Hall of Fame worthy. He won back-to-back league MVPs in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. He was also named Defensive Player of the Year in the latter season. Following the 2020-2021 season, Giannis added an NBA Finals MVP and All-Star Game MVP to his trophy case. His 50-point and 14-rebound performance in the series-clinching Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals is one of the greatest individual NBA Finals game performances of all time.
Antetokounmpo is an 8-time NBA All Star, a 5-time All-NBA 1st Team member, 2-time All-NBA 2nd Team member, and has been named to 5 NBA All-Defensive Teams.
