Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo drew a huge crowd Thursday night during a promotional appearance at a Hales Corners grocery store.

Some 2,500 people turned out to see the team's 22-year-old Greek star at the Hales Corners Pick 'n Save, the Bucks said. That was a far larger crowd than the team or store expected, said Bucks President Peter Feigin.

The Bucks tweeted a short video of the line snaking through the store aisles.

Antetokounmpo remained longer than expected, posed for pictures and signed items for everyone in line, Feigin said.

"Some guy even brought in a frying pan for him to sign," Feigin said. "Incredible."
