Giannis Antetokounmpo does the little things. The little things that make you love him even more as a person and an athlete. The guy is a genuinely good person, therefore, I’m not surprised when he does nice things. For example, he spent his off night at Fiserv Forum watching Marquette-Xavier to support Wesley Matthews. Wessy Wes received a bobblehead in his honor along with a tribute video from Marquette University. It was a special day for Matthews with his daughter and family in the house. Giannis joined him along with head coach Mike Budenholzer. Both guests were total surprises for Matthews.

Tonight, @WessyWes23 was honored by @MarquetteMBB at @FiservForum.

The video is awesome. I don’t care if Giannis got bigger cheers than Wes, he’s the fucking MVP, guys. The humble nature of Antetokounmpo is something I’ll always admire about him. Besides Bucks being 36-6, you can tell they might have the best chemistry in the NBA from the top of their roster to the bottom. The wrestling pranks, the new post-game water celebration, and this type of stuff all tell you this is a special team. Giannis or Bud didn’t have to come to hang out at the place they’re at 41 times a year. But they did.

I also loved the comment from Giannis about ‘Zoom Freak 1’s.’ Xavier is a Nike school so they could be wearing them, but I believe Marquette has to wear Jordan-related footwear. Wonder if Giannis puts in a call and hooks up a colorway for the Golden Eagles (If he does, I might buy the first pair of basketball shoes in a while.)
