A birthday card for Giannis Antetokounmpo

ByIan Levy

Today is a special day, because one of our patron saints, Giannis Antetokounmpo, is turning 20 years old today. He celebrated a little bit early by yamming on Chris Bosh last night with one of the nastiest dunks we’ve seen in a long time.

But anyways, back to today. It’s his birthday, and since we love Giannis here at Friendly Bounce, we wanted to wish him a happy birthday, with a card and messages from the Friendly Bounce crew.

Dear Giannis,

Happy birthday! You’re getting closer and closer to 21, which is a magical age in the United States. But you’ve got plenty of time to worry about that — 365 days, in fact.

For now, just enjoy the fact that you are one of the very best parts of one of the very best times in NBA history. You’re young, you’re charming, you’re spectacular, and you’re definitely going to make the playoffs.

It’s not coming for another four and a half months, of course. But that, my friend, will be the best birthday gift of all.

Giannis,

Happy birthday my man! It’s been so awesome to watch you and Jabari bring excitement about the Bucks back to Milwaukee. For the first time in many years, people are actually interested in the team and see hope for the future.

Your constant enthusiasm, light-heartedness, and joy for both basketball and Milwaukee has been incredible to watch.

Keep euro-stepping from the three point line, keep throwing down nasty dunks, and keep being positive.

Happy Birthday, Giannis!

You’ve grown into a very tall and long human being, that dunks a lot and does things that should be physically impossible! You are very fun to watch.

Stay happy,

@ChrisBarnewall

Happy birthday Giannis!

Keep growing and doing amazing things out there and make sure to have a ton of smoothies today. After that dunk and those Gyrosteps last night you deserve them. Have a great day (and maybe stay away from Larry today).
