The Milwaukee Bucks forward has trademarked the phrase "Greek Freak," according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben.

Got bored watching the mystifying #NBAAllStar2018 open so I started looking up trademarks. Giannis Antekokounmpo just obtained a #trademark registration on GREEK FREAK for a brand of clothing and backpacks 5 days ago. pic.twitter.com/Bpzle2qlp1

The phrase came to life from the lips of Davis over the WTMJ airwaves in Giannis' rookie year of 2013, along with phrases like "The Alphabet" and others.
