- Growing up in Athens, Giannis first learned to hustle by selling goods on the street. It wasn’t until the age of 12 when he discovered a different opportunity to provide for his family - the game of basketball. The tall, skinny kid hit the gym determined to create a better future for the Antetokounmpo’s. #zoomfreak1 #giannis #nike

So happy to see a kid come from such a tough living condition in Greece to dominating at the global stage of basketball, the NBA. God bless you, Giannis.
Long live Greece! Down with America! I love my Nikes!
There's nothing uncommon about growing up in tough living conditions... majority of the world lives like that.
@@peace7482 but it is uncommon for them to have such a work ethic and talent.
Peace So? What is your point, Einstein? Know that besides America, there are hundreds of countries and dozens of them are as developed or even better developed than your majestic burrow, 'Murica.
KazNomad2 you mad lil boy that you are nothing?
Salute Giannis! Nothing but love and respect for you and your family.

All the love to giannis

I had a math teacher that had Gianni as a student. He said that they would mostly eat food that the local church provided. Now Giannis gives trucks full of food to this church to feed people.
Who's Gianni?
Big ups to my Nigerian brotha ✊🏿
Barry Cristobal I think in Greek it’s supposed to be pronounced yaan-ee

Monaleenian 😂
He is representing Greece more than anyone..Proud to be Greek

He isnt greek 😂
@@ElvB every american is not american with the same logic...
From selling plastic toy glasses to making millions doing something he loves.
cd's in Athens
Doug B eventually hard work pays off. Never think like that. Your goal is to get in the draft if Isaiah Thomas could blossom as a 60th draft pick in his Boston days so could you. You attract what you bring. Law of attraction if you believe you’re one in a million then you will be but if you do not then you will be like the majority who do not. Make your own opportunities. They’ve worked hard for it very hard extremely hard.
I mean not every plastic toy seller grows up to be 6'10 250 pds
You can never hate this guy. Such a humble and a great player!
ποσο σεμνο παιδι εισαι ρε Γιανναρε;εκτος απο παικταρας.διδασκεις ρε μπαγασα,διδασκεις ηθος και ευπρεπεια,πολιτισμο...Μπραβο στους γονεις σου,μπραβο σε ολους σας...!!!
Giannis you are so modest even if you have conquered the top,being the MVP player. You teach us ethos (good morals),decency,respectability and you have a great culture.
Low profile and great abilities.
Congrats for you and for your whole family.
Ok
k. kous ok.........
Oh ok
Ok
Indeed
Giannis had to walk on a difficult road but he had probably the most important ingredient... a loving family.
The fact that he succeded so much in his life is probably because of the hard road he walked
Giannis is such a humble dude. Wish him nothing but continued success. He's gonna be arguably one of the best ever to do it, just watch.
This is aging very very well so far. Fantastically well. 1 ring down!
Giannis is the most hardworking player I have ever seen! Respect to his brothers too
Kobe?
Giannis respect! You earned your future! You make as proud of our species.
Whut, species?
@@yunan9610 Human species. :)
@@yunan9610 Ji santanera
@Jason Lee no, by being an incredible human being!
Apart from a great player he has a huge HEART and lots of FILOTIMO and love for his family!! Please stay humble Giannis!
This guy can never be a villain in the NBA. Hope he gets his ring soon
Could've been this year
Done!!!
This guy is 24 years old and he is already a LEGEND 👏
He came from nun to millions rags to riches and he is so humble one of my favorite players
He's already a farkin legend in my book.
Striving to take care of his mother & father after they struggled so hard for so long.
What a player!
What a son!
What a man!
Big ups to my Nigerian brotha ✊🏿🇳🇬
he is an amazing player and person, and the fact that he came from almost nothing shows how hard he works for where he is now. mad respect
Giannis representing Greece 🇬🇷 *AND* Nigeria 🇳🇬

Isnt it sad that the only way this man got out of poverty was by becoming one of the best athletes in the whole world. Whole World. That's crazy. No one should have to live in poverty.
All of greece is in poverty
Well basically 80% of Greece is living in poverty. Hugest unemployment rates in Europe and it's not even close.
@@wonderlandian8465 Where the fuck do you people find those statistics? 80% in poverty? Lol! 1/7th of that maybe
@@wonderlandian8465 80% in poverty is absolute nonsense. Not to mention poverty in a country like Greece is still a lot better than poverty in African or South American countries.
Πόσο χαίρομαι γι'αυτό τον άνθρωπο. Να ξεκινάει έτσι και να φτάνει στην κορυφή του κόσμου. Μπράβο ρε Γιάννη. Ο χαρακτήρας σου σε έφτασε εδώ και όχι μόνο το ταλέντο σου. Και θα σε πάει ακόμα παραπέρα αν μείνεις έτσι όπως είσαι τώρα σεμνός και ταπεινός .
I’ve always respected Giannis, but wow.. such a wholesome family! 😭love this
Nigerians are humble ✊🏿🇳🇬
No one is self made. Family, friends, coaches, mentors, and people that believe in you are a huge part of your success.
You want them to make a movie about Giannis make this blue
Iandrex Llano lets see how his career goes his story still not done
if i want them to make a movie then why shld i like ur comment lets make a petition on that petition sites
It’s every parents dream to see their child live a better life and become a better person than they were
Ο άνθρωπος ειναι ο πρεσβευτής της ελπίδας και της οικογένειάς.
Ζωντανό παράδειγμα ότι τα όνειρα όσο μεγάλα και δύσκολο είναι να πραγματοποιηθούν, με πίστη αφοσίωση, συνεπεία και δουλειά μπορεί να γίνουν πραγματικότητα....
Υ.Γ Κάποιες σπάνιες φορές Δεν γεννιέσαι Έλληνας αλλά γίνεσαι!
Αυτό είναι το μεγαλείο του πολιτισμού μας.
You are making all of us Greeks proud, not because of how you play in the court, but because of the way you act out of it.
Us Nigerians are very proud 🇳🇬
Now this guy is now a nba champion
Who's here after 2021 Championship and Finals MVP? A real legend 👑💪🏾
I feel like he gives the best hugs 🤗😂 like seriously, you can probably feel his good spirit through a tight embrace
One of my many goals in life is to meet this guy and tell him how inspiring he has been to me
Really happy for Giannis...couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Rooting for him
Giannis is the GOAT and such an amazing person for his family. If you watch even more documentaries of this mvp you will understand
Γιάννη, you are more Greek than many of us, I am living in Germany atm and I am so proud of you and what you achieved it's just amazing to watch your Progress, you are so humble and I wish you and all of your Family all the best, may God bless and protect you forever.
🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 Nigerian
Giannis is such an inspiration, he came from nothing worked hard and achieved his dreams. He uses his money to help his family and is so funny as well. He is the most whole hearted person in the nba and everyone should strive to be like him.
You can hear the Nigerian accent in the mom, I love it ❤️
✊🏿 Big ups to my Nigerian brotha 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬

@@spiro7460 his parents.
@@spiro7460 έλα μην το παρακάνουμε κιόλας... Τότε γιατί δεν του έδινε ελληνική υπηκοότητα από την αρχή και μονο όταν έγινε διάσημος του δώσανε. Πάνω από όλα εκπροσωπεί τον σεβασμό και την αλληλεγγύη
@@spiro7460 άι γαμησου παπαρι
Eleni but he didn't have a country before playing basketball.
Every single time i am watching a video or news about Giannis i thinking the same quote: Everything is possible !!! For everyone out there: DO NOT FORGET THAT !! Thank you Giannis for everything you have achieved!! You make us all Greeks proud!!
I hate when corporations steal from hard working individuals. Good job 👏 The disrespect is unreal 🤦♂️
Το μόνο που μπορώ να κάνω τώρα είναι να δείχνω σεβασμό σε αυτόν τον άνθρωπο. *RESPECT*
Te respeto Giannas, viniste de la nada con un corazón y te convertiste en alguien con un corazón aún más grande. Que dios te bendiga Giannas!

I love his story because he has kept his head high through out all of it and now look at him
