Giannis Antetokounmpo recently showed his humble side after a video circulated showing him seemingly getting crossed over by a child.

The video surfaced online over the weekend and shows a young fan sizing up the two-time NBA MVP before appearing to make him lose his balance with a step-back dribble move. It didn't take long for the video to go viral, as fans debated whether the kid put Antetokounmpo on skates or if he was playing around.

Antetokounmpo took matters into his own hands and gave a meaningful, endearing response to the moment. According to the Milwaukee Bucks star player, he's "blessed" to have been a part of a moment that helped make a child feel on top of the world.

"I hope if you are blessed to be in the position that I am, you let a kid believe that he crossed you over," said Giannis.

Giannis once again demonstrated that superstardom won't stop him from being a genuine, caring person, as evidenced by his continuous connection with fans.

After being eliminated from the playoffs in the first round for the third straight year, Giannis has been at the center of trade rumors.

Several teams, including the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs, have been floated as potential destinations. It's important to note that Giannis hasn't asked for a trade from the team that drafted him in 2013.
