Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a revelation in the NBA. With some of the most impressive play, Antetokounmpo has already secured two NBA MVP awards. With each passing year, Antetokounmpo is growing in stature. While he has attained superstar status by now, Reggie Evans had a firsthand experience of how ‘The Greek Freak’ would turn out in the future.
Way back in 2014, Reggie Evans was sitting in the reserve for the Kings. And it was then he saw Antetokounmpo drop one of his signature performances. Awed by his antics, Evans could not resist asking the youngster’s age.
And when ‘The Greek Freak’ replied that he was only 20, Evans only had one answer, “Damn!” Looking back at the incident recently, Reggie Evans stated:
“That’s the day I knew he was gonna be a superstar. That’s why l asked him what l asked him. That was my reaction. This kid here, the things he was doing in that game, seeing it in person, I saw superstar.”
