A young fan named Lily surprised her idol Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks during a recent autograph signing session.

According to ESPN, Lily had been working on art projects for nearly a year and had waited for the opportunity to give them to Antetokounmpo.

Today, she was able to do just that. She even shared a special moment with the Greek Freak, who was clearly touched by the gesture and gave the young girl a hug.

Giannis has to be one of the most likable superstars in the league. Despite his status as one of the best players in the world right now, his humble beginnings have definitely shaped him to have such a genuine and selfless attitude. It's no secret why young fans like Lily look up to him.

Giannis, however, isn't as light-hearted as he appeared here compared to when he is on the court. Antetokounpo is one of the fiercest competitors in the league and takes no prisoners whenever he steps foot on the court.

Antetokounmpo is having a magnificent season for the Bucks and is in a tight race for MVP with reigning winner James Harden of the Houston Rockets.

The Greek superstar is the primary reason why the Bucks have the league's best record. Not only does he make his impact offensively, but also does so on the other side of the ball, leading Milwaukee to the top defense in the league.

Antetokounmpo is currently nursing an ankle issue. There have been rumblings on whether he will get shut down for the remainder of the regular season.

Given that the Bucks look like they have the league's best record secured, it might be smart for them to make sure Giannis is healthy going into the post-season.
