During a recent autograph signing session, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo had an unexpected interaction with a young fan.

As he sat at the autograph table scribbling away, the 6-foot-11 MVP candidate came face-to-face with a girl in a green Bucks sweatshirt who nervously held a purple manila folder.

This young fan has been drawing pics for Giannis for over a year.

She finally got a chance to show Giannis in person. ��

No wonder this guy is one of the most popular and respectable athletes in all of sports. Nice to see stories like this. Hope this season will be the first of many MVP seasons for the Greek Freak. I'd hope the Spurs would try to trade for this guy but I think the city of Milwaukee really needs someone like this.

I was a doubter of Giannis, but he's proven me wrong. Seems like a really nice guy, too. The Bucks are still very young, but I hope they can make a deep playoff run this year.

Super stand-up move by him. The fact that he got up to talk to her, gave her a hug, and looked at her drawings rather than putting them aside is awesome.
