Nineteen games into the 2016-2017 NBA campaign, the Milwaukee Bucks are off to a surprising start -- posting a 10-9 record and currently seventh in the Eastern Conference.

The main reason why the Bucks have a legitimate shot at the playoffs this season? 'The Greek Freak', legally known as Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The man has simply been everywhere this year, averaging 22.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists and has recorded more career assists, steals, and blocks at age 22 than everyone in the NBA ever not named Tracy McGrady.

Speaking of his age, Tuesday happens to be Antetokounmpo's birthday. And on his birthday, Antetokounmpo received one heck of a present -- a visit from NBA legend Kevin Garnett, who stopped by Bucks practice to work with Giannis and some of his fellow teammates.

While the motive for Garnett's presence is unknown, this is quite the treat for a young Bucks team with nothing but potential. Maybe there's a coaching opportunity in 'The Big Ticket's future?

Giannis mentioned that KG talked to him about countermoves. Looks like they're talking about a counter to his "go-to" spin move here. pic.twitter.com/pIzIf6PSmz
