Giannis Antetokounmpo has left his mark on the neighborhood where he grew up, Sepolia, in his hometown of Athens, Greece. Not only figuratively, but also literally.
On Thursday, the Milwaukee Bucks forward posted photos of an outdoor court featuring a giant painting of himself going up for a shot. He also tagged his fellow "Antetokounbros" -- Thanasis, Alex and Kostas -- and mentioned in the caption that the outdoor space is the court on which they all grew up playing.
An incredible aerial shot shows the colorful court in contrast to the surrounding city.
The massive painting was completed by Athens-based artist Same84, who noted in his own post that the project was a collaboration with Nike.
Antetokounmpo is a starter for the East in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans. It will be his first All-Star appearance in four NBA seasons.
