Former Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond, who recently accepted a five-year contract to join the Orlando Magic, made a huge impact on rising Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Greek Freak took to Twitter on Wednesday evening to congratulate Hammond on his new position, and thank him for all he did for him and his family over the years.

Antetokounmpo was selected 15th overall by Hammond and the Bucks in the 2013 NBA Draft, and was later signed to a four-year, $100-million contract extension in September 2016.
