From here to NBA champion....What a story, and so much more to be written!
ur father came a long way too ayelework and me worked at the same job dishwashing 21 years ago when he first came to the US from ethiopia looking at the family he has built now and him leveling up is the same if not greater story so much more to be written too geta
He’s officially a champ
This man saved the NBA.
Come on, whatever lol
looooooool
@@careygreen4274 Don't p;layer hate, player hate!!!
True
Awesome. It’s about time America hears his story. I’ve heard it many times living in Milwaukee and Giannis deserves everything he gets
Knowing how hard life used to be back then (and still is) for those immigrants in my country, I can tell you for sure that Giannis' lifestory is a true fairytale, a lesson that must be taught all over the world about persistence, faith and hard work. And knowing how humble the entire Antetokounmpo family is and how much love and care they have for each other, I can reassure you that they LITERALLY deserve everything they are getting. Greetings from Greece! Go Giannis, Go Bucks!
I live in Milwaukee to Wauwatosa
he was lucky, he was talented and he became famous because he deserves it. But there are so many africans and asians living in athens in horrible conditions, prostitutes thieves etc etc. Maybe their story is more interesting and to watch out for compared to the one of Giannis
NBA CHAMP
He's a champion now
Giannis lowkey turned the interviewer's word "pestered" into "persistent". Rewrite as you please Greak you're destined for greatness
Gamble good catch!
He pestered people to buy something and was persistent in doing so. What’s the big deal!
I wonder did anyone else catch that, yes “The Champ change the Negatively/Narrative..
It's impossible not to root for this guy and his family. HOF baby!!!✊🏾
With him , The Greek National Team is a favourite for the gold medal in every tournament
So proud of you Giannis you are a gift from God.
His persistence defined this years NBA Playoffs!
Naija any day, anywhere, anytime can survive anywhere in the world. We are so proud of you guys. The Adetokunbo!!! Go BUCKS!!!
I’m so proud of this kid..keep going , the sky is the limit
As a Suns fan I tip my hat off to this man
Great guy, great player. Thank God Milwaukee bucks have him. MVP! in and off the court.
I just watched a preview of it on 60 minutes. It's exactly as it says there. This arena and this city became international because of him. Like me, I am a persian guy living in south korea, fell in love with his game, and now it's 2 years that Milwaukee bucks is my favorite team of all time in NBA
Love this man he is so inspirational.. He has such a grateful and humble attitude.
"It is no nation we inhabit, but a language. Make no mistake; our native tongue is our true fatherland."
Εισαι Ελληνας Γιαννη , παντα θα εισαι .
I'm glad Giannis highlighted this. Money is important, but it doesn't buy happiness. And just because you're poor it doesn't mean your family is full of misery.
Fact is, this family is a great one in many ways. They are making proud their parents country, Nigeria and their own, Greece. But the truth is O Yannis is a big patriot and we Greeks, value this more than anything. True Greeks respect it
true greeks? after what you fascists put them through......really.... looking at it fascism remains strong there ... he was born there... what stopped you from giving him citiizenship until he was 18
ruclips.net/video/5YMAdkSv_EQ/видео.html
I like how he said he wasnt poor in terms of happiness. All too often in America we rank things in terms of income and "poverty" but even living in poverty with the right people doesnt make it feel as bad.
This is the champion that the NBA needs. Not egomaniac super teams.
FACTS 💯
I have a Lot of respect for him he got it out the mud not be in another spoil kid. Understanding his role and what he needs to do in life it was not easy but he never gave up and now look at him.🏀💪🏾
As a Bucks fan, I can't wait to see the entire story they did on him. He's as fascinating and intriguing off the court as he is on it.
You guy's should be proud of this humble man. This is the real face that the NBA needs. Not egomaniac super teams.
Now that Giannis has led the Bucks to their first NBA title in 50 years, can you just post the entire 14-plus minutes profile instead of these clips? I think everyone should watch it and learn about the Greek Freak's incredible story. Please post the entire profile ASAP.
I know. Yes!
You have to love this guy
MILWAUKEE!!!!
WE LOVE GIANNIS
NBA CHAMPION!!!
NBA Champ!!!!! Let’s go gianiiis
Somebody should repost this !! Present Perfect timing at its finest
What a great ball player and a great young man
Born champion
He seems to be a very smart young man. 💯❤👍
My hero
CHAMPION
Gotta love this guy! Congrats champ 👏👏👏👏
He feel Greek , he grew up in Greece so he is GREEK!!!
nba top 10's exactly
@Curtis Martin stupidest comment ever, i guess u didn't think it through huh..
Curtis Martin Where do you live? because there is probably a chance that your race isn’t from that country either
@@MIZZY5174 lol he deleted his comment, guy just realize he ain't ethnically from the county he living from what a joke of a lad 😂😂🤦🤦
Yes!! Born in Greece, play for Greece 🇬🇷, Discover his potential in Greece. Recognize himself as Greek but grew up in both culture.
How can anyone don’t root for someone like him? How?
Glad he made it out.
Apparently he wants to go back. Although a much nicer house this time
Wish all MBA players like this wonderful young man.
He knows what its like to go hungry. 🇬🇷
Young Legend
Saw this on 60 minutes. glad to see and hear some uplifting news. Good job 60 minutes. I'm tired of the gloom and doom that's shown on the news today. I heard him say, "God Bless America." As a Black person, I was glad to hear that.
What a man
If the bucks won two years in a row against a different team the second time that would be extra cool.
When you persist until you become an NBA champion... I hope he wins Euro with his national team too
He said Yesterday that he really wants that more than Anything!
OMG, Giannis Antetokounmpo & his Three Brothers could & should All Play for Greece in the Olympics in “2024”.
Now he is the mvp
And now he is the champion!!
The fact that he has made so many strides and has remained humble while doing so will no doubt propel him to the top of the NBA one day. The Milwaukee Bucks will be a household name. Lebron will retire one day and this guy right here will get his shine on along with Steph Curry
I guess you were right lol.
@@bobmarley4272 unmistakably. And now all of the NBA will know hes a force to be reckoned with.
@@jcextranow Yeah the NBA is changing fast. Pretty soon you're going to see 7ft point guards like Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama.
I want to see the rest 😫
MVP bro
Can you upload the full interview with subtitles?It's not possible to watch it via your website.
His english is amazing ! Considering he couldn't speak very well when he arrived in the USA
Really🙄 I doubt his parents spoke Greek, English is the official language of 🇳🇬Nigeria. So he was definitely raise with English 🤔
Damn Giannis had a tuff life good thing he’s became a NBA player
here after he won his chip
He wouldn't have be so Good if he had no Nigeria blood . How many greak are in the NBA ? But I can count many Nigerians in the NBA because Nigerians have that Resilient spirits . We dominating ufc championship , don't forget Aj , Usman and adesanya are Nigeria. Those resist Greece are claiming gianis now because of his success. He is black he is African and he is a Nigerian .
Im no Greek ,nor Nigerian. But Giannis is Greek at heart .They fled Nigeria,as there was no future there for his family .I dont ever think Giannis knows how to sing the Nigeria's National Anthem,but Greece yes, and perfect ! I dont even think he knows how to speak Nigerian Language,as well . Even ,if Giannis didnt become famous ,he will always consider himself Greek of Nigerian descent ! Get over it ! You are the one ,who is acting racist here. Read your messages and look into the mirror. Im sure you would rather have a white skin ,dont you ???
@@truthhurtsalways4u go and read more about his family very well , how his family was asked for packing by greece authority , but when NBA came for his signature his family was called back and was forced to sighn for Greece passport. Get out from here you Greek rasist , I know u people very well. Been raised in Greece doesn't makes him part of you. If you think he could not become who is in Nigeria then how many of him have u made in Greece. Just mention one super star you have in Greece since u know how to develop them . Mumu de talk.
@@mrvibe1570 he reps for both of yall he said that when they gave him the mic after they won the championship lol why so mad
@@HonestHeartsClub am not mad, just that I had the knowledge about how rasist Greeks people are.
@nicos frangeskou he can be born and been working for them , but he is black and not white. Imagine we claim Greek people here Nigerians just because they're here and was born here? How can a black man be Greek ? Just because he was born there and working for your national team . 🤦🤦
a Greek champion
Well done
🐐
Where is the full video??
Champ
Is there a full video of that?
Dudes dad look like Wilt
The original video clip was approximately 14 minutes in length. Can anyone help me access this? It was phenomenal!
Can’t find it either
Where can I watch the whole shabang?
He didn't eat, and he's 7 foot tall? Lol thanks, life.
There was a pretty blatant innacuracy during the Giannis 60 minutes special which makes me wonder how much research does the CBS news staff really do before broadcasting to a worldwide audience of millions. I'm not an award winning journalist (I just know my NBA facts 😎) but I can tell you that Giannis will not be the first foreign born player to have his own signature shoe with Nike. That player would actually be Kyrie Irving who was born in Mebourne, Australia.
Let'sGoDancin' well maybe its because kyrie's father was a u.s. citzen, born in America which would make kyrie technically american , while giannis had no prior relatives born in the u.s. while he was also not born in the u.s.. plus kyrie was actually raised in the u.s. despite being born in Australia.
How do i find the full video?
Long live Hellas !
Giannis is just another human, he will succumb too.
Hellas NEVER !
Lol That’s why he is where he is….
When will it Air??

THE AMERICAN DREAM
AND NOT THE AMERICAN DRAMA
$235,000,000.00 CONTRACT NOW
THE GREEK YOU CAN BUILD A FACTORY 🏭 FOR WATCHES SUNGLASSES 🕶 ETC...U ARE SIMPLY
THE BEST.....I SALUTE U SIR!!!!
ALL FOR THE FAMILY....
jb.shalom
Best part of this story, Giannis gets to the U.S. immediately because he can play basketball and his entire family gets here 5 months later, both things can take multiple years for the average person. Ain't America great, money talks and bullsh*t walks.
trackydog doesn’t take years if you aren’t applying to be an American citizen. They got visas and came over.
It's called a visa.
I’d rather live in Greece then in any part of the US
Amazing.... salute to Giannis and his family✊🏾 but damn, it sho does help getting out of poverty when your 7'0 ft tall and all your bros are at least 6'5 🤣🤣
stop calling people migrants if so what r you?
GREEK is not an nationality, it's a language, his (nationality) was mentioned at the beginning, so you're saying the (language) FREAK lmao (smh)
His heritage is African...But his nationality is Greek...
Apparently your English is not very good. He speaks Greek. He is Greek. You can say Greek to both the language and the nationality, so I'm not sure what you're on about..
@@jasonlynx2284 Hey man,its been 2 years from then!He may be not alive,haha!
He is born in Greece, went to school in Greece, he did his military service in Greece, he has a Greek name, he speaks Greek , he loves and honors Greece, be is Greek. Yes, his parents came from Nigeria and yes his DNA is Nigerian. I guess nothing above is a bad thing.
@@irsinium Adetokunbo is Greek name? Its sounds Nigerian to me
Scouser
Okay sounds like you blew it in Houston. Told you Mr. Fertitta would know. You are not Joey. You are Gollum and I am me Lord. Thank your loser friends in Houston that don't understand sports. The only Houston Native that understands the politics of the NBA is me. You've lost, but we still want to get rid of James Harden. We will figure out something Gollum.
If a mouse borned in a stable is a horse, then this man is a Greek.
Λέω γεγονότα! Τα γεγονότα δεν νοιάζονται για τα αισθήματα μας. Είναι απλώς γεγονότα...
Δεν θέλω να γίνω εχθρικός, αλλά αν κατάλαβες ότι ταυτίζω την Ελλάδα με στάβλο, έχουμε πολύ μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα απ' ότι λέγεται με τον λειτουργικό αναλφαβητισμό..Χρησιμοποίησα παράδειγμα, όχι παρομοίωση. Το γεγονός βεβαίως εξακολουθεί να υφίσταται. Η Αμερική δεν έχει καμιά σχέση με την Ελλάδα..και προφανώς δεν χρειάζεται να εξηγηθεί αυτό.
Get your fascist blood purity negativity out of here. He's Greek enough for Greek people to be celebrating him as a national hero, which is what he is. If Greeks like you don't want him, he's welcome here as an American 100%. If here were born in Milwaukee instead of Athens where he was born, he'd be considered American 100%. Deal with it.
Το αν σηκώνει κάτι συζήτηση φίλε μου δεν το αποφασίζουμε εμείς. Αυτό γιατί διολισθαίνουμε σε πολύ περίεργες εποχές λόγω της πολιτικής ορθότητας. Παρόλα αυτά επειδή στην Ελλάδα το πολίτ μπιρό αποφάσισε ότι συζητήσεις περί Έθνους δεν θα γίνονται (εκτός αν είναι για να πούμε τις ανιστόρητες ηλιθιότητες που ακούγονται από τους εδώ χρήσιμους ηλίθιους επαγγελματίες αντιεθνικιστές) δεν έχουμε και μεγάλη ιδέα περί της έννοιας του Έθνους. Επειδή μάλλον είσαι μπερδεμένος η εθνικότητα του λοιπόν είτε μένει στη Γη του πυρός είτε στην Μολδαβία είναι και θα παραμείνει Νιγηριανή! Η υπηκοότητα του θα είναι Μολδαβική, Βραζιλιάνικη ή τέλος πάντων οποιασδήποτε χώρας αιτηθεί διαβατήριο. Το ξανάπαμε. Το ότι θα παντρευτώ μια Ελληνίδα και θα κάνω χαρτιά στην Ιαπωνία για δουλειά (αυτό λέγεται μετανάστευση και όχι μπουκάρω στην χώρα όποτε θέλω χωρίς να ρωτήσω, απαξιώνοντας τις αρχές και τους νόμους της από την 1η στιγμή που πατάω στο έδαφος της και μετά κάνω και λαθρεμπόριο, εις βάρος του γηγενούς επιχειρηματία ) και το παιδί μου γεννηθεί εκεί ΔΕΝ το κάνει Ιάπωνα. Λυπάμαι για όσους δεν καταλαβαίνουν, αλλά αδυνατώ να το κάνω πιο απλό. Θα πρότεινα να διαβάσεις το "Εθνικισμός" του Αλ. Παπαναστασίου και το "κράτος και Έθνος" του Δημήτριου Βεζανή ως 1 καλή αρχή. Αφήνουμε τις απόψεις των αρχαίων Ελλήνων περί φυλής, γιατί μπορεί να είναι σοκαριστικές! "Η εθνικότητα έχει να κάνει με την ηθική". Τι ακούγεται ρε φίλε loooool. Aλλά βέβαια με την σκόπιμη αμορφωσία του μεταπολιτευτικού βόθρου τι να περιμένεις;
Same on u for accusing me like that! Greek people celebrating whatever the political correct media giving them to celebrate. Ηe is and always gonna be a Nigerian no matter where he was borned. Whether my views are communist, capitalistic or fascist, facts remain facts honey. And facts don't care about your feelings no matter what New or old left says. Get your politically correct utopic false accusations out of here!
