Those who haven’t heard of NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo before this week, will surely hear about the man known as the “Greek Freak” who lead his Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA Finals championship win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
And while his life story is fascinating, heart-warming and remarkable, the religious life of Giannis is less well known. The now 26-year-old Giannis became a Christian and devout member of the Greek Orthodox Church as a young person and continues to acknowledge his Christian faith.
