Giorgi Bezhanishvili came out of nowhere to become an absolute star and the fan favorite of the basketball team this season. Fans would have been thrilled if Girogi was able to play 20 minutes a game or so and not look absolutely lost before the season as the Illini frontcourt looked incredibly thin. Instead we got on of the best freshman seasons we’ve ever seen for a big man at Illinois.
But, this post isn’t about that. This is about what makes Giorgi, Giorgi. His amazing personality won over everyone. He’s always smiling and cracking jokes.
