The “Greek Freak” blocks shots with his elbows now?! (video)

Antetokounmpo inventing new ways to show off his athletic dominance in the game

Newsroom April 21 09:07

The “Greek Freak” has managed to do all sorts of things this season in the NBA. But it seems he is always breaking new grounds. This time Giannis Antetokounmpo added a rare highlight to his already packed reel by blocking a shot with his elbow. Just another reminder of why he is called a “Freak”. The unlucky player on the receiving end was Toronto Raptor’s Norman Powell. Pretty soon his opponents will be shooting from mid-court for fear of the Freak!
