Drake, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, LeBron James… Giannis Antetokounmpo? One of the most dominant players in the NBA and the two-time MVP may not have gone to college, but he’s repping the University of Kentucky on the hardwood with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Antetokounmpo debuted a pair of Giannis Freak 5 Kentucky PE sneakers in the Bucks’ matchup vs. the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. He would go on to score 26 points on 11-17 shooting to go with 14 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two steals in the 120-113 overtime loss.
