Reporter: "And are you gonna be more offense or defense?"
Giannis: "I'll be both."
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
And he's totally lived up to it too, as he is rated as one of the best offensive and defensive players in the NBA. Why limit yourself like that? Be the best.
What are you waiting for from him to say?Offense dut no at all defence?The anwser is political correct.
LEGIT true words
Marvin Schmid 💯🔥
This is things you learn in Europe, maybe there is less talent then in the NBA but european basketball is very defensive, you can't only play attack, you have to do a lot of defence and gianis is a product of this education.
All the dunks, the scoring, the rebounds and the muscle he gained over his career and still the most impressive thing about this man is his character and family values.
The character of a man is always his most important asset
@@PaleBlueDott respect 👏👏
Now that's the meaning of life.
Humble backgrounds...
Well said. He clearly has a tremendous amount of talent. The work ethic is absolutely world class. He seems to be a very loyal person. Family values are very strong. As good as he already, he doesn't rest. He pushes himself to be better. Go Bucks!
Literally watching this after watching him score 50 pts and win the NBA finals. Congratulations Giannis!
One of a Kind. More than deserved !
So inspiring
I’ve been a Suns fan my whole life and actually saw them beat the bucks game 1, but after watching this I believe he definitely well deserved it!!!!! Great comeback, even after that injury Greek freak!!!!!

Yeah I’m a rockets fan and bucks really are looking like contenders out here and Giannis I know you won’t see this, but your number WILL be up in those rafters
@@OHHREV0 Let's give some credit to the front office too. The Bucks traded for then signed Eric Bledsoe, let Jabari Parker walk, hired Coach Bud, signed Brook Lopez, and traded for Nikola Mirotic.

@@Ceob The actual Greatest of All Time is humble AND He prefers sheep to goats. 😉
JESUS: “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world...
“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons...
“And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

Harden is way better and is actually American unlike Giannis. I stand by the American. MAGA TRUMP 2020
jdfodio why you gotta bring religion into everything
jordan was the least bit humble
"maybe I can be up there one day" when talking about retired jerseys gave me chills.
He already cemented his place in Bucks history, his jersey will certainly be hanging from the rafters. 2 MVPs, 1 DPOY, 1 NBA championship and 1 FMVP, and he's just getting started at 26
This also hit me especially the years he says 15 or 20 years, but he did it way less to have his name up there! A champion!
Bro so many chills
@@slicknick0487 hair stood up on my arm and everything

I feel the same way.

The part where the guy said "he would sleep in the gym because he had no reason to go home" hit me hard 😨
Ikr. Thats why he is my favorite because of is come up.
If that is attitude you have for anything there is absolutely no reason you can't succeed.
@@alierngeth I been following him as huge NBA fan but Greek descent playing ball back in Greece every summer since he was 16. I said he will make it to NBA. His story is cool and he is humble guy. He shows that like normal upbringings work hard, play hard and family is key. It's people like him I appreciate when I see them being successful. Thing is he gives back to community too in America and back home in Greece recently for burnt victims over 150 deaths he contributed to build a indoor basketball court.
Bracewell Emmanuel HARD WORK 😓 PAY💰 OFF
He won the 2019-2019 MVP
Listening to his story reminds me of another player of Nigerian descent who started basketball late, incredible work ethic, a leader, humble, grounded, gives to the community, and an NBA all-time great: Hakeem Olajuwon

Yeah. Especially like a "based on a true story" kind, rather than a documentary. Movies like Deepwater Horizon, Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, etc.

the MVP of our hearts!
I don't want just it. He must get that MVP trophy, I think he deserves it more than anyone this season. Harden is a stat padder while PG isn't fully recovered. Feelings are like opinions, they are meaningless without it. Trophy is valid.
Al Simbolon it’s Giannis if he gets 1st seed PG if he gets DPOY and top 3 in West
Γεια σου Ευτυχη, θυμάμαι τότε στην νέα Υόρκη που πήγες να τον δεις με τους Νικς...απο τότε του έχεις φέρει πολύ γούρι. Θα ήθελα πολύ να πάτε στο μιλγουοκι για μια εκπομπή μαζί του και την ζωή εκεί!! Καλή συνέχεια στα ταξίδια σου !

Forget about having your jersey retired, you'll have a gold plated statue in Milwaukee.
💯
He'll be bigger than the Fonz!
If he gets an MVP, even just one. If he wins a title, even just one. He certainty will. But honestly, it's hard to feel like he's just going to get "one" of anything. He's special. A lot of analysts and fans that don't watch him on a nightly basis usually say "he's great but he needs a jumper" or "he's great but he needs a 3 point shot" for him to ever be at the top.
Watch him play every single game, and you will quickly realize Giannis doesn't "need" anything to be that special. He already is. He already has "it". He just has room to get even better, and that's the absolute scariest part about him. A player that truely has no limits in how great he can become.
Plus he can shoot the long 2 (43%) and his 3 point shot is right around league average in the month of February. So if you're not paying any attention, that means in the here and NOW, Giannis is already doing what people say he can't. Keep doubting him haters.
He has one of the best 3 point coaches in the world as his personal trainer and coach right now. It still will take a year or two to really season that shot and make him confident in it, but he's already shown marked improvement as the season has progressed. Coach Bud knows what he's doing when it comes to shaping the next level of Giannis' game.
Think he'll end up being a better Buck than Kareem?
@@NintyPrime agreed
He's just 24..imagine the accomplishments he'll make..
I hope he stays healthy..
The signiture shoes thou. Cant wait for it.
Ill buy them right away
And, he' already has one! The ZOOM Freak 1!
Gonna buy some Freak 1s in October or so, hopefully 🤞

Reporter: are you gonna be more offense or defense?
Giannis: i'll be both
2020: MVP & DPOY
2021: NBA Finals game 6
50 pts. 5 blocks
Wow! Congrats Giannis!
He told his parents that maybe his jersey number would be retired up there in 15-20 years. Wow he really could. That’s very motivating.
*will
He will I'm sure no one doubts that any more
i wish the GM does not do something crazy like a trade..
Why would the gm trade the goat.
Isn’t that crazy?’he could see the future
Dude paid $1 just to see Allen Iverson highlights daily. That's just amazing man. Breaks my heart but looking at him now bruh unreal 💪🏾
Yeah i'm so glad he made it to the league and he can support himself and his family.
For a man as big, I always wondered where he got his steps. Now it's clear he modelled his game after a smaller player in Iverson.
My friends and I were at the same nearly empty restaurant as him and his girl, and decided not to say anything or bother them. Because that's how you show respect.
"If my family isn't here, I'm leaving" he made me cry !!
You can tell he’s got a pure heart. An innocent goofy kid in the body of a man and future champion 👍 Good luck Giannis
Beautiful words, man. Thanks for what I've just read.
Absolutely!
Yup
You heard it here first. He's a future NBA champion.
You can tell they isolated him on purpose from his family. I don't fall for these look what I did for this kid stories. All the people you see are predators. Once you see them as such the documentary takes on a different tale.
So proud of this guy best brother you could ever ask for :) Love you bro
Just wanted to say I'm a HUGE fan of your channel Thanasis. Greetings from NZ :)
@@SHOGUNTAHIRI Thank you :)
Found this video because i somehow stumbled across your channel having never heard of your brother but seeing black men speaking Greek was something i had never seen in my country....in the Bahamas we tend to focus on our own in the NBA (Buddy Hield and DeAndre Ayton) but after watching this...im an actual fan of your FAMILY! This is a beautiful story of overcoming obstacles, remaining humble and being GREAT. Blessings to all of you 🇧🇸

"Maybe in ten, fifteen years my number will be up there." Oh, if you only knew :D
I got goosebumps on that part, and the fact he was talking to his pops made it even better.
I'm shuddering as I watch this video ... I'm greek and I can really relate to what he used to do to survive in Athens ... Nigerian immigrants in Athens have a really tough time surviving and now he is mvp candidate in the nba .. but he never forgets where he came from .. he doesn't care about the money or the fame ... he just wants to be proud of himself and his family ... what a story
I'm Nigerian, lived in in Greece for 11 yrs I used to see him play in these Athens basketball courts...I can also relate to everything his whole family has gone through
Εγώ είμαι κρέας
one minite... Giannis is not Nigerian immigrand. Are you joking now? Giannis parends are Nigerian immigrands! Giannis is Greek with Nigerian parends. Giannis is a greek sitizen! That is to say in greek '" Ellinas nigirianis katagogis"
@@giannastavros4653 yes that's correct!
@@giannastavros4653 yes, by that we can say that Giannis is a Nigerian biologically and a Greek by citizenship.
Dang! He wasn't even sitting in the green room when he got drafted. Dude was sittin on the stands.
You can see him the whole draft sitting behind the ESPN desk
Lol
When your dad shows up to your game wearing a blazer and a tie, it speaks a lot about his character. Giannis has the potential to be a serious difference maker not only on the court, but most certainly off of it as well. Judging by the strides he makes each year as player, I can only imagine his growth as a human later in life.
...and those are some BIG strides.
I diedddd when they showed his pops with the blazer. That was the best moment of this vid
He doesnt need and MVP because he is already an MVP of life
alfred van haas 💯
But he's still gonna get the MVP title anyways 👌
FACTS MUCH LOVE TO THE GREEK FREAK
@marvinxi15 goodlooking my boy
2x MVP, DPOY, and FMVP.
The look of excitement on Giannis’ brothers face when Giannis got drafted @10:00 brought a tear to my eye 😢 that’s real love man.

good on your family to help them
is it true though
@@duparcg it really is! I have cousins that lives in Sepolia, they went to school with him! They would see Giannis go to the gym every day after school working out!
@@chrislybesha3598 cool
That’s crazy man Giannis would’ve gave up playing in the NBA cuz they declined his family of US Visas. I’m glad his agent got them there cuz we wouldn’t have Giannis now
Nyeem Scott he would’ve still got drafted.... you don’t have to be at the draft to be picked......
still would have been an international basketball star eventually ... just from the Euro League
The Bucks helping get those visas, I think, is the biggest reason Giannis has been so open about wanting to stay in Milwaukee
Hold This L. Debarge Nah he wouldn’t have been as popular if it wasn’t for the NBA
Man I'd really like to see him win MVP
Next or the other year yea
danilo jovanovic this year
He’s one of the front-runners for MVP so far this season. If he doesn’t get it this season, he absolutely will sometime in the next few years. If he can continue to lead the Bucks every year to being a top-2 seed in the East, then I would be shocked if he didn’t get MVP. He’s always got the numbers, so it’s really more about how good his team can be.
He will in the future
Chessbox09 it’s inevitable
Props to Greece and Nigerian parents for raising an amazing person and athlete.
Giannis reminds me a lot of Dirk. To hear anyone who is close to Dirk tell it, he’s a superstar who doesn’t realize it. Dirk never lost his way. He just thinks of himself as another dude from Wurzburg, Germany, who happens to be good at basketball.
Giannis has the same mentality. Very humble, very hard working and it seems like he is loyal like Dirk is too. I root for Giannis & the Bucks a lot. I hope he gets his ring like Dirk did (and get it the right way). God bless Giannis & God bless Dirk!!
Euro-style !
This dude is unstoppable
Giannis is the human embodiment of dedication and hard work the prince of the NBA is about to level up 🤴🏾🇳🇬 🇬🇷
Giannis is one of the most humble, hardworking and deserving players in the NBA!!!

I love this documentary, i really wish it was longer! Giannis is really exciting to watch.
dont worry im sure they will make more and i will watch everyone if them
This like my 3rd time watching this it’s honestly one of the best mini documentary’s ever
Giannis needs to hold the torch at the Olympics. Hands down.
Moreover he will probable carry the Greek flage during the opening Olympic ceremony. This will be an amazing scene, since the Greek team always opens the Olympic ceremony, so he will be the first athlete entering the Olympic Stadium in day one. Its the ultimate honor. Just amazing...
Derek Williams He will
@@user-qp1lr8ub2u ultimate honor?that's subjective
Greek basketball team will have to qualify for the Olympics first for that to happen :/
@@jhinabloomingflower807 Being the first athlete to walk out during an Olympic ceremony? The ultimate sport competition among the best athletes, representing your country? It doesn't get much better than that.
A huge antidote to the totally overinflated egos you see everywhere in modern sports. Giannis is a huge credit to his family. Obviously raised the right way.
Yup his family deserves so much credit. They've given a few interviews in greek some years ago and you can see how much they value education (first and foremost), family, work etc etc. If Giannis is the perfect player regarding his work ethic, his parents are perfect citizens. Such an inspiring story.
Who’s here after he won the NBA Finals and Finals MVP?

There is no way that anyone can dislike this guy...came from out of no where, a try diamond in the rough. No I am not a Bucks fan but I love basketball and how it can bring anyone from anywhere together.
Unique as a player, but also as a person. Seems like a really humble, respectful dude and looks like he has an unspoken loyalty to Milwaukee which will make him legend in the city long after he retires.
When he was in the gym like "maybe my number up there some day too" that was amazing.
Aaron Keane he’s already a legend In Milwaukee. He surpassed Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Karim Abdul Jabar.
was i the only one who went on a feels trip and teared up no kidding yo
Pointer Ryan especially when his agent was talking about him not wanting to leave the bucks facility because he had nothing to go home too
Oh my god same bro
Nah bro, I was cutting some onions, that's why. lol
When his parents finally got the visa after 3rd attempt... in an alternate crazy universe Giannis went back home and forgotten.
Bro this dead had me buggin in my feels man hes mad pure and odee humble
I cried watching this, Giannis is my idol on and off the court, I respect this guy so much and just being able to see him play in the Fiserv is amazing
By far, the best come up story in NBA history, maybe even sports history.
Juan Lemus Jamie vardy has a interesting one as well
I was thinking Kurt Warner.
Juan Lemus I’m not a Joel Embiid fan, nor a 76ers fan, but Joel has a pretty inspirational one too
we have manny pacquiao as our national hero in boxing history.
I'd say Caron Butler's story is the most inspiring. The dude literally did time in juvenile prison for carrying drugs and guns on his school property. When he got out, he was only granted 1 year of eligibility due to his age, even AFTER appeal. So he went prep school in Maine for a year, which earned him a full scholarship at UCONN.
I wish you good health and a lengthy career Giannis. Finish the season strong and win the MVP.
watched this aprox 50 times prior to his historic NBA WIN. my favorite is him at 16/17 when he said i want to be in the nba... well well, you have changed the game young man!!!
Giannis, the ambassador of hope
Kayula Mwanamwenge 💯
He will go down as one of the greatest and yes ik it's early to say that but I believe in him.
MA Rocks he might go down as THE greatest
Knock on wood that injury bug pass him.because he is on the pace to be
If he can win some rings and rack up multiple MVP’s, then he will have a chance at getting in the GOAT convo. He’s already got the stats and numbers down, so he needs to get the achievements- both individual and team.
It's not farfetched to say that at all though because he has all the qualities to do so. Hopefully his career just avoids injuries and he keeps up this consistency he will easily be top 10 of all time.
Don't worry, I think most of us here in the comment section share your sentiment. We all believe in Giannis.
When he retires, his number is definitely going to be up there, just like he told his parents.
Milwaukee deserves a hero like Giannis. Hope he stays there, it would be good for everyone
he's here to stay
He literally brought life to that city. It can get pretty rough there.
Well he said in this video he wants his name up there with the other retired bucks jerseys
CP 3O definitely, i remember bucks games when i was younger and way different now much more energy in the stadium and the city
Hes gonna stay with the bucks his whole career just like Dirk and Mavs, he wants to support the franchise that took a chance on him, nobody knew what he was going to turn out to be, look at his 2k14 rating I think it's like 60😂
Work hard in silence and let the success make some noise. This is how legends are made. Giannis, you made me cry man. Love this guy.
Jersey retired, statue of your block at ayton, and 2021 championship banner. Lets go Giannis!
I think I just became a Bucks fan.
Welcome aboard

Do it. It's fun watching small market teams beat up on the Knicks, Lakers, etc..
@@carlosmatos9848 "small"
Go bucks go!!!
🤧🤧 I'm literally happy for him. His story is just so emotional
I know right. I am so proud of him. i didn't know what he was all i saw was this weird name but caught my attention when the sports analysts said he will win. I said who is he and type of name is that. As he has started to win, i looked him up only to discover, he is Yoruba like me but born in Greece! The last name then cleared up that "Adetokunbo" is being pronounced like most foreigners will normally ! Well Traveled Nigerians will be famous worldwide with their work ethic.
Watching this after Game 5 made this even more special!
I've noticed that most nice videos have a like/dislike ratio of 20:1 or better.
This one has 175:1 right now (9800/56)
Giannis is a universally likable guy and his story is so inspiring.
He is greatness in the making. I hope he wins MVP and leads Bucks to the title one day.
You mean....This year 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Year 2022, and I'm here after watching Rise, seeing how far Giannis has reached, it makes me appreciate him even more especially with everything he has been through. One of the best journeys in the NBA. He deserves all the things he has now. God and family comes first, and the rest follows. Like what Giannis said, you just have to do your part, and that's exactly what he did. So proud and this is very inspirational. #RISE 🇬🇷
Giannis is the best player in the world and can get even better. And such a nice humble man.

Finding a champion FMVP!!! Literally like winning the lottery. Who would have thought! Gianni continue dreaming and we will be dreaming along with you! Greetings from Athens Greece. We miss you brother!
Thank you for reviving my city Giannis. The city of Milwaukee loves you
Boston loves him too. My team is obviously the Celtics but Giannis is my favorite player ever since I watched a documentary on him and his story. Loves his family and is incredibly passionate about what he believes in! Milwaukee deserves a guy like him.
B in my time as a bucks fan the bucks have been close to relocation because we were so irrelevant and our arena was so bad. Thanks to this guy we are relevant again and Milwaukee as a city is revived with that new arena and all the business it’s created. As someone who watched through the Brandon Jennings years and even before that when we had Charlie Villanueva, this is truly amazing to see, definitely something I never thought I’d see in my life to be honest. And the fact that he wants to stay for life makes us feel like we won the lottery.
Jalen Lowdermilk Giannis so far, did more for Milwaukee than Aaron Rodgers, and Brett Favre did combined for Green Bay. Giannis is a gem. No doubt about that. I hope the Bucks manage to keep him after his contract expires in two years.
Sergio GR all signs point to him staying for the long haul. He’s an amazing man in the community, an absolute gem. The way he carries himself, you can really tell where he came from.
One important aspect of why I see him staying with the bucks for a long time is the role the bucks had in his family securing their visas.
Milwaukee loves you my brother
You’re heart has made this city come together in ways which has never been seen before.
Giannis you’ve changed a city, molded a state, and will change this country.
If every professional sports team had one man like Giannis on its team, this world would be dramatically a far better place to live
From the bottom of our hearts here in Milwaukee we give you thanks and praise
Giannis for mayor!!not joking!!!
wow....
All he wanted is to be an “NBA player”, now he is a champion.
Know he is the entire NBA
OKC fan, but this man is the MVP
Shut it you dirty immigrant your vote doesn't count . We don't care what NO trash okc fan thinks . MAGA BUILD THE WALL
michael vivar EXACTLY
I honestly think if Giannis gets a reliable jumper he can be a top 3 player all time
I think that without a jumper, withe the dominance he has in the paint, if he does that for another 10 years and gets 2-3 rings and go to finals 2-3 more, he can still reach top 5. He is doing what he does alone without big three or 4 like the other teams. And because of his work ethic he can do that if he stays healthy. When you only look at his jumper you loose the point of his game. He ain't gonna be durant or lebron or someone else, He is the Greek Freak
Just let the dude ball...
Giannis with a jumper could average 32/12/6 easily
Did Shaquille O'Neal need a jumper? Did Wilt Chamberlain need a jumper? Giannis antetokounmpo will be just fine.
@@AstroSully but he doing 37/19/9 now .. that's not not enough for you 😂😂

I came back to congratulate him on winning a Championship. He deserves all the success.
Behind every great young man there are always two even greater figures,in this case Veronica and Charles
I totally agree with you mister.
@@fractilizard4476 Thank you Notis.
in this case yeah but definitely not always; most people aren't cut out to take care of plants or pets let alone children lol
What a player! What a journey! What an absolute humble amazing man! Get that 3 pointer down this summer and the league is yours. 💯
why shoot 3's when you can dunk it on somebody And 1
His faith in his family is unreal.
"they were special because they were consistent every time. Can I be consistent? Can I be mentally tough every night to help my team?"
me and you think alike🙌🏽
I love his character as a celebrity figure. As an athlete he has been very humble over the years this is why he’s probably my favorite player
I’m here before game 5 of the NBA finals, Giannis deserves a chip 🌟
me too but its anyones series suns can still tie it up
@@josephozturk3288 home court advantage and momentum with the Bucks, hopefully they can finish it off 💪🏽
Im here before they become champs tomorrow
Here after they became champs
And he did
When Giannis said "I hope in 15-20 years, my jersey, up there"

How bout 2 years
God bless this dude. Unbelievable story, unbelievable humility. MONSTER player. Love watching people who are humble, who work hard and grind it out, finally make it to the top and shine. It's Giannis' time!
One of the greatest stories in sports history.
My favourite player that isnt on my team. I'm sure many people feel the same way, hard not to like him
this is so motivating.
I've been off the nba scene for a few years now so I am very late to this party and i'm telling you right now i'm in tears. Giannis needs his story told on the world's largest stage we need this inspiration.
As born and raised in Athens I do not like that there are many born and raised there like me that do not have Greek citizenship yet. Giannis was special and got his passport from the Greek prime minister on his way to the NBA draft (with an official sendoff reception) , but there are thousands more that deserve it as well
Most Giannis' video comment sections are always full of positivity! You deserve everything you have and will have Giannis. Bless up!
This video makes me wonder how many amazing players were in a similar situation to Giannis, but were never discovered by the scouts.
Exactly
A lot bro, a lot!
It made me think of players all over the world like that who are yet to be discovered 🤣
I was one of them, now I wear a tie and sit at a desk all day.

And now he is an NBA champ! Hard work always pays off man. Congrats to Giannis.
"Are you gonna be more offense or defense?"
"I'll be both."
LET'S GO GIANNIS
And now he won Defensive Player of the Year and MVP.

How can u not like or cheer for this dude!!? Love his game and love his story. He will be a NBA mvp soon enough
He gave hope to a generation of our country that had no dreams and aspirations whatsoever. Thank you Gianni, for being Greek. Thank you for everything. All the best from all your brothers and sisters here in Greece. We love you.
Everybody loves Giannis we need a Netflix series
Giannis is the type of brother everybody wants.
Like he said, ride or die.
Always wished I had a brother and this made me even more jealous
