MILWAUKEE - A young and eager Giannis Antetokounmpo sat down to clack out a tweet.
"I'll never leave the team and the city of Milwaukee till we build the team to a championship level ...," he wrote.
It was the summer of 2014, and Antetokounmpo was a gangly, doe-eyed 19-year-old who spent the year videotaping himself drinking smoothies for the first time and building muscle. He had finished seventh in Rookie of the Year voting.
Fast forward five years: Antetokounmpo has blossomed into a physically imposing player and MVP favorite who led his team to the best record in the NBA.
