Demian Haki he currently has some time off and among all things he could do, he invited people to play a game with him in the open court at his old neighbourhood in Athens. cool as fuck!
Milwaukee definitely knows what they're doing. Hope he grows to an elite player EDIT: GIANNIS IS NOW AN NBA CHAMPION!!! A FINALS MVP AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boo Orange Harden is ass, gets so many free throws every game and plays no defence. Giannis lead his team to most wins in the season while averaging amazing numbers. This guy is talking about Giannis being the MVP so I don’t know why the fuck you brought up Harden.
At 4:08 his brother Thanasis called him and he said to call him back in 5 minutes. I bet nobody around him understand a thing 😂 He is so natural in his reactions. Even now that he is one of the best
His brother Thanasis called him and he said to him to wait 5 mins and he will call him back(I am Greek and fan of Bucks And Antetokounmpo!!!)I want to wish him to be in roster of All-Stars game!!!It will be the first Greek in All-Stars...So gool luck man!!!
Sixers fan here and I know how hard it can be for some of us smaller teams to bring in and keep talent, I hope that he becomes a star for you guys and a light in that community. He really seems like a good kid. (well we're the same age but you know what I mean!)
@@ShadyMike It's crazy, I never thought I'd see the Bucks become this big of a team. It was great having Ray Allen and Michael Redd and stuff, but Giannis has brought this team and basketball in the entire state to heights I never dreamed of. I love it. Good luck with Philly. I used to really enjoy watching them back in the Iverson years. Would be cool if they could get someone like him or Barkley or someone again to renew worldwide interest in the team.
Proud to be Greek because of this guy! The BEST ROLE MODEL OF OUR TIME, not only as an athlete but also as a person! Σ ευχαριστουμε που σηκωσες την Ελλαδα στην κορυφη Γιαννη με το απιστευτο ταλεντο σου και την ταπεινοτητα σου!! Μην αλλαξεις ποτε!!!
The journey of watching this team over the past 8 years has been incredible. Uncertainties of whether or not Giannis could reach that superstar level. People doubting if he could win with Khris. Hell, Even questions about whether or not this team was going to be able to stay in Milwaukee. The addition of Jrue was perfect. And our big three have such great character. It's sooo damn rewarding seeing this team become champions!
Giannis you are doing very well and I love to watch you play.. I am in my 70’s and you have brought the game back to life. God bless you and your family 👈🏼
I WAS SO HANGRY!! Το παιδί είναι δικός μας!! Σε έχω δει απο την αρχή Γιαννι,και γιατί είσαι τόσο καλό παιδί, πιστεύω και σου εύχομαι το καλύτερο στη ζωι σου!!! # 1 FAN LOUTSA!!
Bucks knew they had a star they just needed to develop him. You can see it from day one the way they opened hands to him , the loyalty and trusted the process. Look at Giannis now the best player in the world , many more rings to come 🙏🏾 let’s go bucks
6 years later in 2019, this kid is the MVP and is averaging 28 points and 13 rebounds a game. The work has totally paid off. The work in the weight room has shown a significant change too. A great inspiration to keep working hard to achieve your goals.

Came back to one of my favorite videos just to see how far he's come (and ya know pizza 🍕 lol). My man needs to win a championship. He's ready. He's worked hard for it! 🏀 The city of Milwaukee deserves a championship!
Am New fan of Giannis after watching the Finals! His journey from here till this moment is really incredible! From the draft 2013 and Now he's a Champ!! NBA Champ 2021. Thanks Bucks Organization for believing the Greek Freak!!
for all of you guys saying giannis is bad for a rook look at Paul George's stats as a rook 7 points 3 rebounds 1 assist per game on 20 minutes , very very similar to the stats of the alphabet giannis. Giannis is actually better with 7 points 4 rebounds 2 assists and nearly a block per game!
***** when i bashed him i did not take a look at PG's rookie stats in that other video i even mentioned his stats were close to PG's afterwards. Giannis wont be very good. TRUST ME. Also stop stalking me please
This kid is gonna be amazing
k1slayer well you called it man

tim you're trash
Who’s here today in 2021 after Giannis Championship run?
Your mama
Meeee lol

The best thing about this kid is his character. No matter how much talent you have, character helps you to make use of that!
Demian Haki he currently has some time off and among all things he could do, he invited people to play a game with him in the open court at his old neighbourhood in Athens. cool as fuck!
He sold stuff on the streets of Greece to help his parents. He knows the struggle.
U called it
@@HoodieJxu called what
2x MVP, DPOY, finals MVP champion. you were right about character
Milwaukee definitely knows what they're doing. Hope he grows to an elite player

Γιαννη είσαι θεός συνέχισε έτσι και θα τους πάρεις τα σωβρακα
almost six years later...endless hard work...and this dude is the MVP
Hammerhead 23 if were being honest harden deserved it but I still love giannis

Are u from the future?

people say hes like magic. Or westbrook in durants body but taller and more athletic. I say bullshit, he's Giannis!! Most likable dude ever
7 years later, he is bringing milwaukee to the NBA final.
Go bucks!
NBA champion now😭
Go suns
An African Greek kid with a Greek accent like mine! I love this guy!
Me too😃
At 4:08 his brother Thanasis called him and he said to call him back in 5 minutes. I bet nobody around him understand a thing 😂 He is so natural in his reactions. Even now that he is one of the best
3:11 Young Giannis looking at a trophy that isn't his. In 2021, he's now an NBA Champion with the Finals MVP... Goosebumps
Milwaukee really deserve this Man. It was destiny. They gave everything and took a chance for him in the draft. Now they earned it together.
You can just tell that he's a good person and deserves all of the fame :) cheers from Serbia!
You know guys Kobe averaged 7 ppg in his rookie year and then 15 ppg in his 2nd year. Giannis is right on track to be an all time great.
U said it
I love this comment
Bruh
This aged so fucking well
How did you know
He seems like a nice kid, I really like his game as well. I hope he has a great season leading to a successful career in the NBA.
And now he’s a 2 time MVP , finals MVP and NBA CHAMPION
Well he did okay😂😂
You could call it successful
such innocence... then he decided to put on some muscle and started dunking on everyone
he ate a lot of pizza :D
His brother Thanasis called him and he said to him to wait 5 mins and he will call him back(I am Greek and fan of Bucks And Antetokounmpo!!!)I want to wish him to be in roster of All-Stars game!!!It will be the first Greek in All-Stars...So gool luck man!!!

He'll be decent, he's definitely not winning 2 MVP's and a championship tho

never been a bucks fan, but this brother is likeable. hope his character stays the same as he climbs higher latters is the nba
Hes an MVP now lol
And a fmvp and a champion!!!
@@Bruh-xf3yr and his character is still class
Lol now he’s literraly the best player in the league. Time flies
Is LeBron dead?
@@kingexclusivo I think that LeBron is more skilled but Giannis is just more dominant.
@@kingexclusivo let them think ,every year they find a new player that is "better than lebron"
@@GAME-zo8qg Yup. Even if it’s not LeBron, I’m still talking Durant, Curry or Doncic over Antetokounmpo

You were right
Man you damn right
You saw it
Giannis you are doing very well and I love to watch you play.. I am in my 70’s and you have brought the game back to life. God bless you and your family 👈🏼
He is the funniest nba player😂 even when he doesn't try to be😂
swea 😂😂
Idk why I was laughing for the whole video 😂😂
still is to this day
Now our Greek God drop 40 point back to back and drop dad jokes after.
You can see how much sincere he is by the look of his eyes.Make us proud little boy and give the example of hard working young man
He definitely has made y'all proud.
Συνεχισε την προσπαθεια. Ποτέ μην ξεχασεις την καταγωγή σου. Μεινε ο χαμογελαστος και ταπεινος Γιαννης.
Να'σαι παντα υγιης.
So good to be watching this video now, when he was just crowned the MVP of the NBA
Even better now
This is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen
Giannis was listed as 6'9 and after he played last season , he grew 2 inches, He is now a 6'11 Small Forward
kds size?
Ignacio Sanchez taller
Ignacio Sanchez yep
Yea I read about that but his play style reminds me of a younger Kevin Durant
he is a shooting guard
Great person, great player and also a great story with him coming from Greece. And still so young... Incredible
He's coming from Greece, but he's a Nigerian.. Greeks are not black u know..
@@skatapc You can be nationally Greek you know...
@@crazytingz7006 Yes, u take a paper with a stamp on it..
@@skatapc No, by being born there you fool...
@@skatapc with your logic, no one in the USA is actually American because they're not ethically American...
Greece is proud of you my man!
I brourht here after 7 years. The making of a champion, the finals MVP
I had to come back after seeing him win his finals and just wow, he deserves it all
I’m so proud to see how far this dude has come. He was a kid so raw and new to it all
You can tell this guys Greek by the amount of olives he put on his pizza😂
This got recommended to me after 8 years. The Freak already carried his team to the finals and gave them a ring. He also had the MVP.
I WAS SO HANGRY!! Το παιδί είναι δικός μας!! Σε έχω δει απο την αρχή Γιαννι,και γιατί είσαι τόσο καλό παιδί, πιστεύω και σου εύχομαι το καλύτερο στη ζωι σου!!! # 1 FAN LOUTSA!!
Must be really proud now 🇬🇷🇳🇬
Different man on the basketball court, not so polite when he's throwing down on everyones head! haha
lmao thats a fact lol

He's come a long way since his rookie year. Crazy to see how much he has developed in 3 seasons.

One thing I like about him is his attitude, I think it's great, natural.
This guy is great haha omg I love his accent
I think this guy will win at least 2 MVP, DPOY, and championship(s) in the future

Akumpo proved us that hardwork pays off
This guy is the next giannis antetekounpo
Damn this kid is now Finals MVP. Prada giannis man. Hard work deffo pays off
Congratulations to you Giannis. Greece is proud for you :)

for all of you guys saying giannis is bad for a rook
look at Paul George's stats as a rook 7 points 3 rebounds 1 assist per game on 20 minutes , very very similar to the stats of the alphabet giannis.
Giannis is actually better with 7 points 4 rebounds 2 assists and nearly a block per game!
***** when i bashed him i did not take a look at PG's rookie stats
in that other video i even mentioned his stats were close to PG's afterwards.
Giannis wont be very good.
TRUST ME.
Also stop stalking me please
my bad for not reviewing the stats of all NBA players.
Im still right.
***** i have 100 dollerz
