At the age of just 20, and at two metres 11 centimetres tall - and still growing - Giannis Antetokounmpo is creating headlines in the world's most lucrative basketball league - the NBA, having swapped the sunshine and beaches of Greece for the freezing winters of Wisconsin. It's been quite a journey for the Milwaukee Bucks player who was in London this week as his team took on the New York Knicks in one of the NBA's overseas games. The "Greek Freak", as he's affectionately known, was born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, and it was his basketball prowess that secured the family their passports. But despite the hardship he says he has fond memories of his time growing up in Greece. (Image: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Credit: USA Today)
