'We're role models:' Giannis surprises 3 young athletes from Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee

GLENDALE -- Giannis Antetokounmpo was in on quite the surprise for three young athletes on Thursday afternoon, June 13.

The kids are part of the Boys & Girls Club Emerging Leaders Basketball Program and were selected to receive a Kohl's shopping spree at the Glendale store. All of this was a reward for their academic success and leadership efforts.

What the kids did not know was, Giannis was part of the deal too. The NBA superstar surprised them, hand-delivered some JBL headphones and took some time to shop with them at Kohl's.
