Giannis Antetokounmpo is the purest athlete in the world. I don’t know if there’s anyone purer than him, especially in the four major sports. Antetokounmpo has been giving out his ‘Zoom Freak 1’s’ to different kids throughout the year. It is not every game occasion. Rather, Giannis spots out kids and gives them shoes after the game. I’m not sure of his thought process on which kids get shoes, but frankly, I don’t care. The simple fact of the matter is Giannis does this type of thing. It is not surprising that he is beloved by all that come in contact with him.

The best part about these videos is the reaction that follows once the shoes are in their hands. They tear up and act like it’s the coolest thing ever. Honestly, it is the coolest thing ever. My sports equivalent as a kid would have been Brett Favre giving me a game-football or his wrist band. That shoe for each child will be in their lives forever. They’re going to have it framed likely and it will always be a story about ‘The time Giannis gave us some shoes.’

Keep being awesome, Giannis.
