Miami Heat reporter Trish Christakis has revealed her new nickname after going viral late last month.

Christakis, who works for CBS Miami, garnered over 11.2million impressions with an X post on April 29, after the Heat’s season concluded.

‘Year 3! What a season for the Miami Heat, thankful,’ she captioned a photo of her in a skintight brown dress.

And while the post from the Greek-American reporter spread in the United States, it even made its way to Europe.

‘So apparently TV stations in Greece are calling me Greek freak 2.0 might be the funniest thing to come out of this,’ she wrote on May 1.

Of course, the Milwaukee Bucks’ Nigerian-Greek star Giannis Antetokounmpo is known as the ‘Greek Freak’ himself.

Year 3! What a season for the Miami Heat, thankful 🙏🏻❤️🏀

According to her LinkedIn, she graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2015 with a degree in broadcast journalism, setting herself up for current on-air role.

However, she also has a background playing soccer herself, and revealed in 2023 that covering Lionel Messi play for Miami had been a massive highlight. 

‘Playing football my whole life and becoming a professional has always been my biggest dream,’ she wrote on Instagram. 

‘But getting paid to cover the GOAT’s career is more than I could have imagined.’
