Giannis is an overall good guy.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is having himself an MVP-worth season thanks to his incredible play with the Milwaukee Bucks. At 57-19, the team is ranked first in the Eastern Conference and even have the best record in the entire league. This is all due in part to Antetokounmpo's contributions on the court, which typically include some monstrous dunks. While the Greek Freak may come across as evil on the court, he certainly isn't the same way off of it. Sometimes it's hard to strike a balance between on and off court personas, although based on a recently surfaced clip, it seems like Giannis does so perfectly. 

In the video, a little girl named Lily brought her jersey to be signed at an autograph event and she even had some artwork for the Bucks star. After taking a look at the art, Giannis was so moved that he got up from behind the desk and hugged her. That's when she burst into tears in a moment that will surely tug at your heartstrings.

“Thank you so much, this is amazing. It’s amazing. You did all this? Thank you, thank you," Antetokounmpo says.

In the background, even the adults can be seen shedding a tear at the beautiful moment. 

With the playoffs on the horizon, perhaps Giannis will have karma on his side to help him go to the NBA Finals.
