Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is so famous and well-liked that people want a piece of the two-time MVP and would go to great lengths to get it. One young lady at the Fiserv Forum did just that as she pretended to be a Bucks fan to procure the Greek Freak’s autograph on her jersey.

Shrewd move

The young lady approached Giannis at the end of his pre-game shootaround before the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. She then asked him for his autograph on the Antetokounmpo she was wearing. The heartwarming moment turned hilarious when she was seen taking off the Giannis jersey, revealing a Tyrese Maxey jersey underneath.

But wait, the story got deeper. That very same Maxey jersey she had on? She also got it autographed later on when she met the promising 76ers guard during their shootaround session.

Big basketball fan

It's clear that the young lady wasn't just a Bucks fan but was really a big fan of basketball. She used her creative genius to get both signatures from Antetokounmpo and Maxey. It certainly made for a memorable experience, and she'll now have the two framed jerseys to commemorate it.
