As mentioned, there are two variations for this Fortnite Icon Series skin. As for the basic skin, he would be wearing a hoodie and joggers with a black and green color scheme. And on top of the hoodie, he would wear a long white sleeveless coat with some green accents. This skin is possibly based on his Milwaukee Bucks kit.
But for his second outfit, Epic Games gave tribute to his famous nickname ‘Greek Freak’. The player is called by this name due to having a Greek heritage. So, his second Fortnite skin does a black Greek warrior armor with some designs in gold. Further, Antetokounmpo’s eyes shine bright with lightning like the Greek God Zeus.
As for weapons, the NBA star would get a shield and sword suitable for a Greek warrior. Furthermore, the Spear could be just a cosmetic for the pickaxe. There are also rumors that this skin would get black and green-colored wings to replace the standard gliders. Undoubtedly, it would be a skin to look forward to.
NBA fans do crazy for this ‘Greek Freak’ skin
Soon after this announcement about this Icon Series skin, there is a lot of amusement among the NBA and Fortnite players. They can’t wait to play as the Greek Freak in the 2017-released battle royale game. Let’s look at some exciting comments from the fans.
