Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most dominant forces basketball has ever seen, the sight of the Greek Freak going downhill at full speed towards the basket is one that has seen many NBA players shy away from challenging him during his career. However, Giannis is just as wholesome off the court as he is fearsome on it and he enjoys quite the cute relationship with his fans.
The 2-time MVP is a big fan of Oreos and milk, once describing it as an ‘every night snack’ for him. This is the same man that celebrated winning Milwaukee’s first championship in 50 years by going to Chick-fil-A and ordering 50 chicken nuggets, so this is no surprise. Well, in the same vein, a South Korean Bucks fan recently sent Giannis a gift through ESPN’s Steven Watson that he truly appreciated.
A Bucks fan living in South Korea found @Oreo cereal, which is still sold there despite being discontinued in the U.S. He mailed me boxes to give to Giannis, so I felt like I had to do my part.

The South Korean fan sent Giannis some Oreo cereal, something that has now been discontinued in the United States but is among the Greek Freak’s favorite snacks. Giannis thanked the fan after receiving the gift and clearly seemed thrilled with his present.
“Thank you, thank you. I’ll enjoy it, trust me. Thank you. Tell him I said thank you.”
It’s hard to imagine that someone as fit as Giannis enjoying some Oreos on a nightly basis, but they don’t call him the Greek Freak for no reason. The results of his hard work since he was drafted have been evident, with Antetokounmpo putting on serious muscle, so there can be no questioning the fact that he puts exactly the right things into his body.
Giannis is enjoying another MVP-caliber season, averaging 28.1 points per game to go along with 11.3 rebounds and 6 assists. With a 32-21 record, his Bucks may not have set the NBA alight this season, but they are very much in the mix for the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference. Whatever he’s been snacking on, it’s a smart strategy by the Bucks fan to send him more of it as they will be hoping to repeat as NBA champions.
