Giannis Antetokounmpo is a member of the NBA's zero haters club. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar once again proved why he's such an adored figure by NBA supporters everywhere as he shared an endearing moment with a young fan during Friday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
A random sign from a young boy in the stands caught Giannis' attention as the Bucks star was going through his pre-game routine. The kid was celebrating his birthday in a couple of days' time and he had one simple request from Giannis. Naturally, the former back-to-back MVP gladly obliged (h/t Yahoo Sports on Twitter):
Giannis gave this fan a special moment 💚

All the kid wanted was to meet Giannis so the fact that he got a pair of his idol's signed shoes was an epic birthday present. His older brother, who happened to be wearing a Nikola Jokic jersey, got a gift as well as the Bucks star took the shirt off his back to hand it over to the young Nuggets fan.
This recent encounter just took Antetokounmpo one step closer to sainthood. It's not uncommon to see players give away their shoes or their jerseys to the fans but there's just something about Giannis' interaction with supporters that feels so genuine. Never change, Giannis.
