Prior to the NBA season being put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks had the best record in the league and looked likely to make a deep run come playoff time.
While the NBA now looks for ways to resume the season, ESPN took time to reflect on Antetokounmpo’s journey to the NBA and the Bucks’ impressive start to the season.
"It's beauty in the struggle," part of a quote that features in Antetokounmpo’s Twitter byline, serves as the inspiration for a video that reflects on Antetokoumpo’s journey to the NBA from his days as a youngster in Greece to superstardom with the Bucks.
The video shows many iconic moments in Antetokounmpo’s young career, including the night he was drafted by the Bucks as well his MVP acceptance speech at last season’s NBA Awards ceremony.
The league’s reigning MVP is destined to add to his list of iconic moments, as his “struggle” to bring Milwaukee its first NBA title since 1971 goes on, at least for the time being.
