However, the 6'11 forward, known as "Greek Freak", revealed he had gained 51 pounds of muscle since entering the NBA.
The 24-year-old helped the Bucks win at TD Garden Mbadachusetts, finishing the night with 30 points, eight rebounds, five badists and three blocks.
The victory extended the four-game winning streak of the Bucks, which saw the Celtics succumb to their third consecutive loss.
The Bucks' lead was weak throughout the third quarter as Boston reduced the one-digit difference.

Jaylen Brown led the Browns with 21 points on the bench.
But every time the Celtics reduced their deficit, Milwaukee turned to Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton or Tony Snell to control them.
The Bucks increase their record to 22-9 and remain in second place behind leaders of the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors.
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer admits the team relies heavily on his superstar.
"We are here with Giannis every day, every night," said Budenholzer.
"What he does, no matter how you want to call him, he plays pretty much every position for us and does everything."
Antetokounmpo's performances make him one of the big favorites of the MVP 2019 prize.
As Antetokounmpo has evolved, Middleton has seen his role in the Bucks offense evolve significantly.
"Coming here was a fresh start and I had to win my place," Middleton said.
"So, by the time I'm in it, I still have that hungry state of mind. I want to do great things, I always want to lead the team, but at the same time you have to sacrifice some parts of your game.
"Touches, blows … a bit of everything, but I know it's better for the team, so I do not take it personally at all.
"I have accepted this role, I accept who I am as a player and as a person."
The Bucks will be in action next Saturday. They will have to face a road trip to play Miami Heat in Florida.
