# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Athens to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo played youth basketball for Filathlitikos before the Bucks selected him 15th overall in 2013. In 2016–17 he became the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season in the top 20 in total points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. He won back-to-back MVPs in 2019 and 2020, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James as the only players to do so before turning 26. In 2020 he added Defensive Player of the Year, becoming only the third player after Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon to win both in the same season. In 2021 he led the Bucks to their first championship since 1971 and took Finals MVP. The Hellenic Olympic Committee named him Greece's flag bearer for Paris 2024.
