I just watched "Rise", the documentary about Giannis. It was inspirational and gave me insight on his story. One of the best players of this generation!
Great Movie, Rise, I always love Giannis since I first saw him in his rookie days.. His determination is incomparable, his will is unmeasurable, his tenacity is indefensible, his hardwork is indescribable, Giannis is one of greatest story in NBA’s History, ever..
It does equal talent but in ncaa talentwise. For example Espn analysts slandered Doncic before the draft when he played with actual grown ups in europe. US prospects are 6'5 black teen puts up 40 against 6'0 white teen. And that's why a lot of them fail on the professional level
@@overdyle380 yes thats what im saying nba GMs dont want to take risks with european talents. And I belive a European player will never go number 1 overall unless he plays in ncaa tournament which is highly unlikely.
@@akiakos fr doesn’t make sense, dude wins a whole euroleague championship and mvp against grown men, and goes 3rd overall. I mean the mavs working out for him, and some good F/A moves and KP staying healthy, will make them title contenders ngl. Luka getting paid 8 mil, so they can afford someone good
They say the 2020 nba draft is weak. That's what they also said back in 2013. You'll never know if you'll find a gem no matter how 'weak' the draft may appear. All it takes is hard work and passion. Look at Giannis. 💪👍👍
@Wake No. No need for Spanoulis to come back. Don't get me wrong he was one of the best players in the league but he's old, Sloukas and Giannis will be a great duo
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life……!!!!
I remember meeting Giannis in September 2013 while in the 7th grade. His younger brother Alex was a grade below me so he would often come right into our school to pick him up. One day, at my locker, I turned around to leave and bumped into a very tall man. I looked up and it was Giannis, after I said "I'm sorry, my bad". To which he said in his thicker accent back then " you all good man, have a good one". Apart from his physicality, he has not changed since the early days. How he is today is how was back then and we should treasure that. His mother Veronica and father Charles were very kind to me as well.
Must suck but well looking back at it most mock draft had him going usually 20-25, some had him falling out if the 1st round ppl weren’t expected him to go right outside the lottery
I'm a huge Lakers fan never thought the bucks would win a title gianis and the bucks deserve this title they prove a team don't need a super team to win a title
What's crazy about this, is that this was last year, but this year it was Hawks vs Bucks in the Conference finals lol. So apparently both teams made good choices lol.
If Jokic won a championship, he may be the best draft story ever. He is a 2 time MVP and all he needs is a ring. Imagine, a 41st pick, they had the commercials on when he got drafted and now, he is a 2-time MVP.
When GOD is for you, it does'nt matter whose against you. This young man is blessed and rightly so. His steps are ordered. GOD's speed Giannis. Jesus is Love
Giannis has to have the best actual career trajectory in terms of improvement. A pretty good rookie, MIP, DPOTY, MVP 2x, then Finals MVP. It's literally a fairytale.
I just watched "Rise", the documentary about Giannis. It was inspirational and gave me insight on his story. One of the best players of this generation!
so inspirational, and made me cry ngl
T_T
@@tmgykii_ same here lol. Great story!
just got done watching it right now!
Same here! I don’t watch basketball but I love inspirational movies… as soon as I saw the movie I started googling 😂
Yes. It should make us all reflect on the status of immigrant, perhaps. :)
Who's here after the championship? I certainly am!
He really did it. So proud of Giannis
Heck yeah
Me too and my mom likes him and he is proud of him like he is her son. STICK TO ME
Nobody ever is
Yes sir!!!

More importantly family matters first.
Fun fact: Giannis's real last name, Adetokunbo, means the King that returned from across the seas or the King from a foreign land.
Man is the king now
with his first ring🙏🏾
@@aysea6116 I believe he will win more tittles
@@martinezmark7448 I think he'll win at least 3 Championships
@@YoloTB Possibly also hos name and status as a great one will continue to rise he still so young0
meant to say his*
The movie called "Rise" brought me here such an inspiring movie! Giannis you will be forever a Legend!!!
They wanted Giannis draft night but never traded up to get him and wanna say all that now knowing what Giannis became
💯
I'm pretty sure they tried to trade for him after that shock
Couldn't have said it better myself
Facts
@Erik Brice Ledford Had 17 and 18 could easily trade that for the 12 or 14th range pick.
Thats crazy how he could go unnoticed like that I didn't even know he was the 15th pick just goes to show you top 3 pick doesn't always equal talent
It does equal talent but in ncaa talentwise. For example Espn analysts slandered Doncic before the draft when he played with actual grown ups in europe. US prospects are 6'5 black teen puts up 40 against 6'0 white teen. And that's why a lot of them fail on the professional level

LeMelo ball is going to be lite Jason Kidd, wiseman is KG and edwards is life Dwayne wade.
Still a weak draft
@@Topagendadollathat wiseman take is crumbling
Yea Anthony Bennett lol
Watch Rise people oh my gosh!! And don't forget while watching the movie, this kid is a 2 time NBA MVP! With a championship! Wow!
While watching the whole movie When I’m nervous about their selection I just remember how he is now
Still gotta appreciate if weren't for his big brother's support he might have never been in the NBA let alone play basketball.
I hope he wins an Olympic medal with the Greek national team !
When is this?
Or a Mundobasket

After watching the movie , his opportunity was well deserved & he made a name for his self & family🙏🏾
He wasn't even in the green room when he got drafted. Dude was sitting in the stands with the crowd.
Watching this now that giannis is officially an NBA champion and Finals MVP!! Just makes this story even greater
“RISE” brought me here once again 🇬🇷

And now Giannis is a Defensive Player of the Year, 2x MVP and now a Finals MVP. Amazing
And Most Impoved player of the Years as well
*Improved
Seeing how happy Thenasis is for his brother is true brotherly love right there
as a jazz fan it kills me to see we were one pick ahead of giannis
Must suck but well looking back at it most mock draft had him going usually 20-25, some had him falling out if the 1st round ppl weren’t expected him to go right outside the lottery

I just watched "Rise" !!!
Dang Giannis I know his family is proud of him cuz like he said he know what sacrifice means !!!
And now an NBA Champion and Finals MVP. Amazing.
How can anyone dislike Giannis??? Bucks 2023 NBA Champs 🏆
"For his name is Long and Full of Letters - THE KING IN THE EAST!" - Game of Zones
tel that to nikola jokic who was sleeping when he was drafted😂😂😂
Or Sabonis who didn't know that he doesn't get to pick a team.
@@praclarushtaonas7232 arvydis or domantis?
When they announced his name in the draft, it was screened by a commercial on tv. The disrespect. XD
@@MrXela9 yeah because technically nobody cares about 2nd rounders. His story is inspiring though
Thank you Milwaukee for giving us this Greek god. We fans are so excited where we are right now.
Lifelong bucks fan here. Bucks drafting Giannis is one of the best things to ever happen to Milwaukee.
So special to watch this guy grow!
came here after watched “Rise” documentary. Such an amazing player to achieve the NBA Draft.
Giannis getting his first ring and mvp. Congratulations to this man
Anybody remember when he first started playing for the Bucks? Before the greek freak, he was the alphabet.
Hats off to the executive that really got behind this man
Anthony Bennett was the best #1 pick ever chosen. Sad to see what the nba did to his career.
He really is the 🐐
Worst
Nah it was actually Kwame Brown 🐐
Imagine if Cleveland picked him Giannis back in 2013. Just 1 year before Lebron's comeback.
The goat of being bust Anthony bennett 😂
Cavaliers people were smoking the dopest weed ever at the time.....There is no other way I can explain it
For drafting Bennet yeah but for not drafting giannis naw
they always do
If you think picking bennet the ultimate bust was a bad move try be a gm . You can't predict the future
as a hawks fan watching him oust us in the conf finals this hits different
Could you imagine if we got Giannis, maaaan....
to me Rodman is one of the greatest draft stories ever told!!!
What's crazy about this, is that this was last year, but this year it was Hawks vs Bucks in the Conference finals lol. So apparently both teams made good choices lol.
Imagine Giannis playing with Trae

I liked how commissioner stern pronounced giannis's family name: Adetokumbo. And it's not a mockery. i'm serious. :)
That’s the correct spelling
That's correct.
That's the Nigerian version of his name, so it's correct
Man’s about to get a ring 😌
