His movie "Rise" brought me here. I'm not into basketball but knowing about his journey and watching this speech made me tear up and feel like I was rooting for him from the beginning
He send all his money to his parents on his rookie year. I mean all, including his taxi fare. So he just run to the stadium. Respect to this man. True MVP off and on the court
I did that too. My first job, all my checks went to my parents. I didnt even know how the checks look like. I mean it's not millions of dollars though lol. It's a good symbol that means you owe your parents all the world.
And despite that, he plays the hardest I believe he will go down as one of the greats to ever play and by the end of his career he Will be in GOAT discussion
Bro I just wanna say something, as a long time Bucks fan, We have SUCKED for years, and then this Giannis Antetokounmpo guy came along and he changed our franchise forever, he won us 2 MVPs, All Star game MVP, Most Improved Player, Finals MVP, and most importantly, an NBA championship, so I just want to say Thank you Giannis, before it’s too late. 🙏🏼
I really loved your Message. Now imagine this: this guy did not only changed your city,Milwaukee, but he changed a whole country, my country Greece. Giving hope to thousands of Greek kids and kids from immigrant families, to believe in the dream and to fight for it. This is his biggest legacy that transcends basketball, and goes beyond the imaginable.
Ash Raider 2010 he was on the Heat. 2009 he won 61 games, but it sure as hell wasn’t alone. Big Z doesn’t exist? Boogie Gibson? Danny Green? Mo Williams? They had 3 all stars including LeBron.
From a guy who had to send money to his family in Greece and had to run to a Bucks game after finding he had no cab fare , to being the Best Player in the World .
Like, he was selling CDs on the streets with his brother as a kid. They would even share their shoes because their parents didn't have enough money to buy for both them...

@@MrAcedelux he's from freaking Nigeria to Greece and got fuckin drafted to the nba got shit went through his injuries his dad almost win championship to this winning mvp
With Rise telling his background story, it’s even more impressive that he really climbed the peak of the basketball world and is now maybe the best player in the world
i recommend you ask your parents about the difference between ethnicity and nationality.When those two terms are clear in your mind,hit me back and we will discuss it.
The humility of this man is unmatched. Didn't leave one person out and started by giving glory to God. He has true humility and gratitude in this speech. I cried when he said he looked up to his younger brothers. This is a great human being and phenomenal basketball player. Well deserved MVP and champion and wishing him success for many years to come.
Lol...90 percent of white people, i dare say hundred percent get the pronunciation of his name, antetokounmpo very wrong...its a nigerian name, a yoruba name to be exact. But, who cares, the night belongs to giannis, congrats brother, and much love, all the way from NIGERIA🇳🇬🇳🇬💪🏾💪🏾
4 PF no but I’m saying he isn’t one of the best players ever if he were to stop playing rn people would say he had a few great seasons no one of the best right
As a young Greek dude who grew up around the same block as Giannis did, I cried right at the moment they announced his name.. and I am proud of it! Σεβασμός και Αγάπη! 🇬🇷
Lellie Eskurt wtf you say?? I was at the same region that giannis grew up, it’s called sepolia and I was watching him going to the basketball courts of this region all the time. Plus he’s exactly same age as me. Greece is a small country and especially a small region like sepolia, people know and greet each other here. If you don’t know then don’t speak, stupid!!
Came here after watching the movie 'Rise'.... phenomenal story man...the dedication and the struggles they made..AS A FAMILY..thats soo beautiful...cried like a baby after hearing this speech mann..damnnnn ♥️♥️
I’m from Milwaukee and he’s honestly the best thing that has happened to us in the last decade. You can’t hate god gifted talent from of a lifetime. He will be one the GOAT without a doubt, hands down!
Aarish Jamal hes not human, to be 7 foot and that athletic is crazy. it’s probably like a 1 in a billion chance you get genes like giannis, some people were able to get those type of genes but sadly they never put enough work in to become successful.
Damn who was out there cutting onions. For real tho, this man deserves it for all the hard work he put in last summer. His jumper game is getting better too! MVP
Please. He won the MVP for the Practice season, dude was shut down when it got real can't even make a free throw. Not saying he ain't great but save the water works for when you really accomplish something, like winning a fucking championship. These awards are for the selfish non championship players the Harden and Westbrick. Kawhi's at home with the real hardware. Giannis won't get to the next level until he wakes the fuck up and stops kissing the ass of people like LeBron James.
Giannis, here in Greece we are *more proud* of the person you have become, than for your great achievements in the sport. Congratulations and thank you for keeping us in your heart.
@@smiles4thecamera i am from Greece, and actually this stupid country does not grant immigrants nationality, even if they are born in Greece like Giannis. Giannis was stateless until he was 18 years old, no documents for 2 decades, even though he was born in the country. But staying so long and from the beginning of his life, i must say that he has acquired the greek mentality, which shows every time he talks. The rest is genes. Bottom line: he "became" Greek, even though Greece didn't want him to prior to his success.
Evan Lanam Jesus loves you brother, and I pray you encounter the same way Giannias has and the same way I have! The idea and image of God has been changed many times I will admit, but ik that the God that I serve which is the God of the bible has never changed! He’s literally changed my life and has turned it around and has showed me the true way to live and the way of life thats meant to be lived! Hes comforted me in my lowest darkest moments and has blessed me with far more than I ever deserve because he cares for me and loves me and the same applies to you! God cant move in your life if you dont let him, he wont force his way on anyone because that would go against the gift of free will he gave us, and I just pray that you would open yourself to have an encounter with him, the God that I serve, to see for yourself that he really does exist and is not made up! I’ve literally seen people in wheel chairs and with sickness’s be healed by praying in Jesus name and it just defies reality, and I pray that same God I’ve witnessed in my life is the same you can witness and encounter to my friend!
Rj rjwp kd’s is way more emotional he was growing up poor and he thanked his mom that was supporting Durant on a low income and that she didn’t eat when only 1 person could eat

@@MilesAway-mw4xp giannis is the best basketball player on earth, is kante even a top 10 soccer player? Probaby not, you can compare kante to giannis because of how hard they work and how they always humble and how they are not hated, but in terms of talent kante's reputation in soccer is nowhere near giannis' basketball reputation
He is so humble. I’ve never seen an athlete being so real about appreciating his god-given talent and understanding that those gifts alone is one in 10 million. In the end after his emotional speech, he really shows the world that he is coming for the top. With his drive and talent which probably are both highest among NBA players, he is destined to be a legend.
@@EE39775 then why is he playing in the Greek national team? And you aren't the one to chose it you are probably a fat ass shit sitting in a couch and cringing about a successful man that feels Greek .He and the government chose if he's Greek and if he's not apparently he is so sadly you are wrong. Learn before you speak that will help you.
Not all of them his oldest couldn't quite keep up with the NBA but the other 2 brother are coming the one who was drafted by Dallas last year is trying to groom him quietly but then drafted luka doncic the first round so hes kinda stuck behind him

Me and my brother fight a lot but I love that kid to death we argue, yell at eachother, hit eachother, but at the end of the day hes my older brother (by 2 minutes) and he is pretty cool😁😁😁
"Good parents see the future for you" Love that statement. For so many people who's parents escape war, poverty, strife, it really is amazing for them to still see opportunity for their children amidst the chaos. Mad respect to The Greek Freak👌👍👊
I saw Giannis play in his first year. He transformed physically and statistically, and I have always admired his progress. But it was just NBA basketball. Yesterday, I got off my flight after watching your documentary and learned about your story and your family’s journey. You deserve everything you've achieved today. His background and what they went through makes any challenges I face seem insignificant in comparison. Your journey is truly inspiring.
Thats what it means to people who grew up with nothing. Literally nothing… such a humble man who knows his priorities. Wish his dad was there with him :/. I hope he wins the title this year, he deserves every bit of it. And get ready for the Giannis era in the NBA.
"But at the end of the day this is just the beginning. My goal is to win a championship". 2 years later the goal was met. Γιάννη είμαστε πολύ περήφανοι για σένα και την οικογένεια σου. Συνέχισε να μας εκπλήσσεις και να μας δείχνεις το σωστό δρόμο. GR

The humility of this man is unmatched. Didn't leave one person out and started by giving glory to God. He has true humility and gratitude in this speech. I cried when he said he looked up to his younger brothers. This is a great human being and phenomenal basketball player. Well deserved MVP and champion and wishing him success for many years to come.

He tries to say it so fast. You can tell he hates even approaching it.

Please. He won the MVP for the Practice season, dude was shut down when it got real can't even make a free throw. Not saying he ain't great but save the water works for when you really accomplish something, like winning a fucking championship. These awards are for the selfish non championship players the Harden and Westbrick. Kawhi's at home with the real hardware. Giannis won't get to the next level until he wakes the fuck up and stops kissing the ass of people like LeBron James.

You cant be both Greek and Nigerian. That's literally impossible lmao
Wilt Chamberlain you can have a Nigerian ethic background but could’ve been born in the country of Greece, which makes you the nationality of Greek
@@smiles4thecamera i am from Greece, and actually this stupid country does not grant immigrants nationality, even if they are born in Greece like Giannis. Giannis was stateless until he was 18 years old, no documents for 2 decades, even though he was born in the country. But staying so long and from the beginning of his life, i must say that he has acquired the greek mentality, which shows every time he talks. The rest is genes. Bottom line: he "became" Greek, even though Greece didn't want him to prior to his success.
“This Is Just The Beginning, My Goal Is To Win A Championship “ 2 years later , he’s a champ
he sounds like kylian mbappe lol
"Thank God for blessing me with this incredible talent".
Well said
Lmao
dragn26 what’s funny?
He was in fact blessed
Evan Lanam Jesus loves you brother, and I pray you encounter the same way Giannias has and the same way I have! The idea and image of God has been changed many times I will admit, but ik that the God that I serve which is the God of the bible has never changed! He’s literally changed my life and has turned it around and has showed me the true way to live and the way of life thats meant to be lived! Hes comforted me in my lowest darkest moments and has blessed me with far more than I ever deserve because he cares for me and loves me and the same applies to you! God cant move in your life if you dont let him, he wont force his way on anyone because that would go against the gift of free will he gave us, and I just pray that you would open yourself to have an encounter with him, the God that I serve, to see for yourself that he really does exist and is not made up! I’ve literally seen people in wheel chairs and with sickness’s be healed by praying in Jesus name and it just defies reality, and I pray that same God I’ve witnessed in my life is the same you can witness and encounter to my friend!
