Giannis Antetokounmpo is quite the popular fella in the Big Apple, especially with the local Greek community.

It's nice to know someone in New York had a soft spot for the Greek Freak on Wednesday night, especially after Antetokounmpo nailed a jumper with time expiring to lift his Milwaukee Bucks to a 105-104 victory over the New York Knicks.

Before boarding the team bus, the 22-year-old was greeted by a large group of fans looking to take a photo or snag an autograph. Earlier, a media member referred to him as a "Greek God."

Only in New York.
