Greek Freak meets YouTube heat — and Athens loved every minute.

NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo shocked fans by popping up on a surprise livestream with viral sensation IShowSpeed, as the two teamed up for an off-court adventure through the streets of Athens.

The highlight? A nostalgic trip to Sepolia, Giannis’ old neighborhood, where he first fell in love with basketball. The duo hit up the very court where it all began — and yes, Speed tried (and failed) to keep up with the Bucks’ MVP.

Dressed in a Greek national football jersey, Speed brought the chaos, while Giannis brought the calm. After the court antics, Giannis became tour guide, showing Speed the sights of Athens before the two wrapped things up with a scenic dinner overlooking the Acropolis, feasting on classic Greek cuisine like true locals.

During the livestream, Giannis got personal — opening up about his humble beginnings, life in Greece, and where his NBA journey may lead next.

“Probably. We’ll see. I love Milwaukee.”
