What’s even cooler is they could all play for the Greek national team if they wanted. They could be the first starting 5 sibling lineup in the history of Fiba or the Olympics if they wanted too
Francis choice of sports was soccer like his dad. He went on to play with professional leagues all around Nigeria prior to eventually joining his family in Athens. These brothers have an amazing bond and love for one another equally ❤
Antetokounmpo from Adetokounbo doesn't really have any essential difference. In Greek, nt is pronounced d and mp is pronounced like b. So there wasn't any mistake. It's just that in Greece, when we use Latin characters, we mostly use nt instead of d and mp instead of b.
@@kthomas9424 From that perspective in Greece this "mistake" can be made with all of our last names, for foreigners and Greeks too. I really don't find it such a big deal. It's Just a matter of pronunciation.
@@heolelavara8340 it absolutely can, but in interviews & even his recent movie, it must’ve been important enough for them to mention because him/his family made a point to mention the mixup & what the name means to them, especially as a reminder of where they came from.

"mp" and "b" are the same in greek , we just say them like "b" . That may be a bad for nigerian people , but it is what it is cuz "μπ" is "b" we dont have a lone letter that adheres to "b" we have 2 .
You deserve more views and subs, watch when you have a couple or maybe even one that really blows up, you will get high consistent views cuz u producin high quality videos. You remind me of JxmyHighroller.
its also annoying that they had to change the last name cause some travel official decided its a different spelling and didn't bother to check with Giannis, I would have preferred that was corrected. Now the name sounds Greek instead of Nigeria. I mean from "Adetokunbo" which is Yoruba meaning "the king/crown from across the sea" to antetokounmpo which means nothing in greek. Adetokunbo will have been perfect for when he becomes the king of the NBA (it will be the king of NBA from across the ocean (Greek / Nigeria)), but all is good as far as they are happy.
THey didn't change the name just for some traveling prerequistes. They born in Greece, they growup here and adopt a name from their childhood. The speak greek and behave as greek. Nigeria is just their origin. Oh I thought for the first name was the comment.

I learned something else about Francis and it’s that he’s a musician who goes by the stage name “Ofili” Here’s one of his songs ruclips.net/video/928NrLW4S74/видео.html And also check out my other videos mehn.
''Adetokumbo'' means "crown or royalty born abroad" in YORUBA LANGUAGE OF NIGERIA and the middle name of GIANNIS ''UGOCHUKWU'' ADETOKUMBO the '''UGOCHIKWU'' means ''GOD'S GREATNESS''
Sbout his last name , in greek language we don't have the letter b neither the letter d in our alphabet. To write b , is mp.to write d, is nt. For that their last name is Antentokounmpo.
@@AmbientSongss I wouldn’t say that Yorubas are taller than everyone else. We’re pretty average. Not short but not particularly tall either. When I think of tall ethnicities, I think of the Wolof people of Senegal and the Nilotic people in South Sudan.
Not sure why this matters but, Francis is light, too. Although lots of Igbos are light skinned, Nigerians of all tribes have variations in their skin tones from very light to dark.
you do not know shit.francis never played basketball.he only played soccer .francis went to a university in nigeria and played soccer in nigeria and work also at mobile company in lagos nigeria.later he moved to athens greece where he signed in a 3 division league soccer club but never played.he is also a musician and have made some music videoclips .
Francis is a fraud. The team he supposedly played soccer in Greece(he didn't play at all) was owned by the same guy who owned Panathinaikos where Thanasis proved himself in euroleague. So basically he was a throw in deal for Thanasis signing, Thanasis asked the owner to hand a few checks to his brother Francis who isn't talented at anything.

@Ari Gilgur There are many 6'5 football players, nothing special about it. It helps in some positions.
I would love to see that.

Adetokumbo literally means "crown or royalty born abroad" in the yoruba language of Western Nigeria.
Makes sense then if giannis were to be the next face of the nba. The king from the seas
Yoruba language not dialect.
@@listenup2882 He corrected himself; now you would have to delete. Then I would delete too. Lol
I learned that from the movie rise of antentkunpo I think I spelled it wrong
@@listenup2882 Thats what he said.
After watching RISE, this all made sense now.
Bruv !... if you don’t know Francis then basketball ain’t for yu 🚨😉
You're a funny guy huh?

It does in the sense that they took pride in their name, since it was a proud Yoruba name to be had

This brother is a rapper. Goes by the name ofili
I didn't come here for Giannis biography.
Better version is everywhere
I came here for Francis Antetokounmpo
Thank you for doing this video and for pronouncing the name AdeTokunbo right 🥰
🤝💯
😍👑👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿💪🏿✊🏾😍
It's the same pronunciation.
Accurate video. “Adetokunbo” was well pronounced. I’m Nigerian btw
The brother who stayed in Nigeria seems the shortest….maybe something about Nigerian genes and Greek food is an explosive combination
dude stfu

Watch the Disney movie Rise. Good movie
There's always that one kid in the family right? Like if there is a family of doctors and there's one who wanted to be a painter 😁

He is into Music and has a hit song Shekosi. Under the stage name Ofili

God love us all........
Great vid
Thank you for watching 🙌🏾
U gotta new sub keep up the grind bruh 💯
Preciate it ‼️💯
Soon as you say the Ade I know he’s Nigerian
Whoaa there’s another one!
Yep
Happy I found this, I was wondering who he was.
Glad I could help
So cool bruh
dam i really wanna see Francis play basketball to bad u can’t find any highlights
i like the vid god bless 2020
Thanks Lawrence🤝
They didn’t make mistake in their names . It was deliberate they made a Greek version of Adekunbo
Thanasis is 6’6” so Francis is not 6’5”
Yeah his like 6’1 at the most and 5’10 1/2-5’11 at the shortest
Yeah. He's 6'1
If he is 6'5 and Thanasis is 6'6, why is the height gap between them so big in the picture?
Occurred to me too, I think he’s probably like 6’3 but I read it here www.sportscasting.com/how-many-brothers-does-giannis-antetokounmpo-have/
Because he is really around 5'11. Which a lot of people will fiercely deny because they don't want to admit it
im about to call him the shortest but i change my mind.hahahaha
He is a pro soccer player
Untetokounmpo
''Adetokumbo'' means "crown or royalty born abroad" in YORUBA LANGUAGE OF NIGERIA
and the middle name of GIANNIS ''UGOCHUKWU'' ADETOKUMBO the '''UGOCHIKWU'' means
''GOD'S GREATNESS''
Soon as you say the Ade I know he’s Nigerian
Sbout his last name , in greek language we don't have the letter b neither the letter d in our alphabet. To write b , is mp.to write d, is nt. For that their last name is Antentokounmpo.
Francis never played basketball.He played professional football in Nigeria and Greece (Sparta-Aittitos Spaton)
YOO YOU FUNNY DUDE
He obviously got the athleticism if he played pro soccer, but he got screwed on the height lol
DISNEY brought me here
Either he is adopted or is a secret lovechild like jon snow.
Isn’t Francis a music creator??
You’re right he is. But he launched his music career shortly after this video
He also play football
He does music amigo as ofili
Mom has some explaining to do
No she doesn’t lol, he stayed in nigeria when his parents left
Honestly? Francis Adetokunbo should get a DNA test. Just sayin'.
🤔😕🥺
I’m sorry but I think the same thing. He looks nothing like them
Your really don't understand genetics.
4:42 yooo may be
there is something in the greek water or food. how else do you explain the heights difference?
Let’s move to Greece lol
Better living conditions, the body can grow to full potential.
They are from Nigeria Yoruba tribe... Yoruba's are genetically tall.
@@AmbientSongss I wouldn’t say that Yorubas are taller than everyone else. We’re pretty average. Not short but not particularly tall either. When I think of tall ethnicities, I think of the Wolof people of Senegal and the Nilotic people in South Sudan.
@@bukster337 didn't say they are taller than every one if you actually read my comment. I said they are tall!! You can analyse further... Geez
Francis does music his names offili
I think he looks a bit like Asznee.
Francis is "NOT", unknown!
he was when I first made the video but I see what you're saying
how tall is francis?
6'5
More like 6'1"
I looked at the photo cover like who the fook is that guy
Bruh. Why Giannis is the only light skin among all of his 4 brothers?
His mum is lowkey light. While the father is dark. So he looks more like her. Plus his mum is of the Igbo people who are sometimes Lightskin.
IGBO PPL OF NIGERIA ARE LOWKEY LIGHTSKIN
Not sure why this matters but, Francis is light, too. Although lots of Igbos are light skinned, Nigerians of all tribes have variations in their skin tones from very light to dark.
Some of us Nigerians come light skinned especially Igbo not nit just Igbo people. Yoruba, fulani, hausa...
Isn't Francis working at the Vatican ?
🤣😂🤣😂

to say "b" you need to see "mp" together, in greek. Same goes with "d" you need to see "nt" together.
Antetokounmpo > Ball
