Whose watching this great clip after Giannis won the NBA Championship for Milwaukee?? Bucks in 6!!!
Meeeeee
we dogs
Hello Caguiao
Lol 😂 yes
Lol they don’t get there without Middleton or Jrue Holiday. Even Bobby Portia had big minutes and clutch plays during the series. Giannis won it with them … but yeah I’m just watching this
2x MVP - DPOY - Finals MVP - 2021 NBA Champion
He came a long way
Came back after he won in the finals. Everything is coming full circle
I was looking for this type of comments, I'm quite curious of where the smoothie guy might be right now hahaha
This guy represents everything that is good about the game. Dedicated, Humble, and most importantly a genuine love for the game, not motivated by money, or by accolades, just the joy the game brings him. Much respect, I hope he has a long career
Superstar now
And MVP one day
maybe a GOAT
Maybe make it to finals this year
TAGkosta yessir
Seems like a great guy, I wish him the best.
Fuck Alex
That matched up so perfectly =.=
Jonathan Today..he can beat Lebron..
SKRT and he's in the MVP discussion now. Easily top 10 player in the league
G B best in the league now
“I think it’s a place that’s going to make me great.” MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP and Champion!
Omg you got everything! 👌👌👍👍👍👍
MIP too
Giannis is meant to be a Milwaukee it's destiny man. Milwaukee gave everything to this man and giannis paid it back.. now they earned it together.🦌❤️
He's really sweet and grateful. I hope he has a great career.
ikr
he is boys dropping 25-30 points a game
And was a All Star starter
And now he's the front runner for MVP lol, he's doing fantastic
All-star captain now
"oh my god , I defeated Kevin Durant" - Giannis probably
Love how he said how many strawberries and blueberries he wanted in his smoothie hahaha. He's such a foreigner lmao, really cool kid. He's gonna become something great in the league in a few years.
Lol i dont think thats what he did though. He wanted 3 strawberry smoothies, and two blueberry ones. And the worker thought he meant he wanted 3 strawberries and 2 blueberries
So far, so real.
Facts
You called it lmfao
@@PeaceEpieces I don't think this is it, either. I think he was talking about ratios. 3:2 strawberry-to-blueberry ratio
It was nice seeing the comments over the years. He's now an NBA champion with finals MVP.
The more I watch this guy behind the scenes the more I become a fan of his.
Very humble...you gotta wish this guy nothing but the best
he is the best player in the world now
This kid has potential.
A lot of it
He can play..mad skills.
He's the Greek Freak 2019!
He s a mvp now boii!!
Yessir. One of the best in the league now
How can you not love this kid!
Ολη η ελληνικη κοινοτητα χαιρεται για εσενα Γιαννή, εισαι πολυ καλος παικτης και απιστευτος χαρακτηρας! Σου ευχομαστε τα καλυτερα :)
+Odyssefs Aristeidou spittin them bars mah nigga. Straight FIRE!!
ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΙ
This kid went from selling pencils on the street in his country to support his family to NBA stardom. He deserves every penny of his contract. Nothing but respect. Look at him now, one of the best PG in the lgue and an All Star. Its true hard work always pays off at the end.
I love the last part that he says 'my family is my life' that was so sweet!!
His voice reminds of the slap ass guy from Key and Peele. Lmfao
damn, its crazy how giannis panned out. Can be one of the all time greats
wow so freaking humble
fly giannis,fly!!!!so proud for you and your humility!!!
humble kid, like him a lot. he has kind of a breakout year thus far, hope he keeps developing and if so he is gonna be one hell of a player
You're absolutely right.
Well I have news for you

Arpan Bartaula 2 Years Later 😱
Called it

two years later and he's playing Point Guard and plays like a 7 ft Russell Westbrook
and starting for the eastern conference in the ASG.

He doesn't play point guard he's a Point Forward.
4years later and he is the mvp
5 years later he is MVP again
Antetokounmpo can be as good as he wants to be! At 6'11," he's playing PG this year. Awesome player to watch! I wish him all the best!
the way he walks so casually at 4:32 and nobody notices him. How times have changed
You are more Greek than other Greeks. You make us proud μαγκα
+Liar Lawyer την ειπες τη μαλακια σου εσυ.. μπραβο
Πιστευεις οτι εισαι πιο Ελληνας. Πες μου τι εχεις προσφερει σε αυτη τη χωρα?
+Liar To run faster than others does not mean that you are genetically Greek...... Μην μπερδευεις τα μπουτια σου!
Μ'αρεσει π μιλας και στα Αγγλικα. Κανεις δεν ειπε οτι ειναι γενετικα Ελληνας, ορος που αμφισβειτειται εντονα αν και εγω τον δεχομαι ως γνωστης ιστοριας. Ωστοσο οπως ο Δημας ή ο Σχορτσιανιτης και πολλοι αλλοι αθλητες που εγιναν Ελληνες μας χαρισαν τοσες χαρες που τους αξιζει ο χαρακτηρισμος Ελληνας.
Since when did you neo-Nazi racist fucks begin claiming Blacks as one of you?
Γιαννη ευχομαι ο θεος να σε εχει παντα καλα εσενα και την οικογενεια σου. Χαιρετισμους απο ελλαδα, εδω ολοι σ,αγαπαμε ισως και σαν δικο μας παιδι..
I feel you bro. that shit was fire. u got mad barz. whens the mixtape drop?
+The Cousin of Death 😂
So appreciative, good for him.
What a humble and grateful guy.
''I think it's a place that's going to make me great..."..WOW!!!
You 're amazing
Greece loves you❤
"I'm a more happy person now *smiles* and my family's more happy now."
To think that this beautiful family struggled and suffered financially and that at some point they were "unhappy"...... is very sad. This is a family of very beautiful souls!
whats with subtitles? i can understand him just fine.
pretty disrespectful really
Hank Scorpio
not really, he is not very clear sometimes so the subtitles made sense.
MajorrBison hes speaking english if you cant understand it dont watch
MajorrBison and i didnt ask for yours either you just had a problem with mine but i didnt swear at you
Vivek Ranadive WORLD NUMBER 7! you are both bitches. First off who gets offended by typed words on a computer screen? Second subtitles are there because English isn't his first language, therefore he can be unclear. THUS subtitles are made! Have a nice night you butthurt internet thugs (:
Great mind. Humble, proud and fearless. A true example for many Greek people. For every people for that matter. Absolutely stepping his game up lately
I like this dudes attitude!!!!!
ALL GREECE LOVES YOU GIANNIS! You are the best! Continue to make us Proud! good luck for the future!
Only he’s not Greek & DNA test will prove. Just saying fact.
Krasnaludek Shut up and bow down to the Greek God
@@krasnaludek298 hes born in greece though lmao
@@B1gch33s3 FROM SEPOLIA 🏀🏀
@@krasnaludek298everyone already knows he isnt greek ancestor wise, but he was born in greece and raised as a greek with greek values and culture
This mans in the finals now. Hard work pays off no matter what anybody says.
He picked up basketball late too.
Thank God he ended up in Milwaukee because they did make you great !! Giannis future GOAT!
They didn't make him great, but the gave him the opportunity to shine.
We needed someone like him for a while
5 years later he’s won mvp🤟🏽
And now he’s the NBA Champion.
Crazy to see where he's at now, just goes to show how much hard work can pay off. Hope he continues to get better 💯
Congrats Giannis! 2021 Finals MVP and NBA Champion! Go bucks🦌
fuck yeah ! giannis absolutely incredible career , MIP , ALLSTAR MVP, SEASON MVP, DPOY and FINALS MVP !
6 years later and now he win his 2nd mvp
Biggest steal of 2013 draft!
Point Guard Nation Easily.
biggest steal ever. like seriously pick 15. and this is where he is now. best pick ever
Kobe@@craigis123
@@thomaswalsh5116 kobe broke high school basketball records in his state. Giannis started playing basketball at 13 years old and 10 years later he's an mvp candidate, I'd say Giannis is the biggest draft day steal
Called it
Man he’s really a 2x mvp now, looking back at him starting out all humble is something else
NBA champ now :)
3 strawberries and 2 blueberries. I thought he wanted 5 smoothies at first then i was like ohhhhh ok LMFAO...gangster!
+Funked Up he meant 3 parts strawberry (3/5) and 2 parts blueberries (2/5), but sounded kinda weird
@@ZodiakAsHell I think he literally meant three strawberries and two blueberries in the smoothie lmao. He came from NOTHING.
and now it is one of his signature shoes haha
What's with all the subtitles? His English is perfectly intelligible.
accent
Better than some US natives that play in the NBA.
Seems like a good kid. Hopefully, people keep him away from trouble.
There whole team knows there way around these guys the new bucks not Larry sanders
And he didn't start playing basketball until he was 15 years old. Amazing!
12*
I admire how humble he is. He really knows the worth of family and know basketball comes after family. Great example 💯
Remember this guy's name, he will be the next big superstar in the NBA
You were absolutely right!
yep
Who's watching this after Giannis got his 8th MVP award and 6th title +6th finals MVP??
I remember this video when it first came out and i had no idea he would become a superstar. In this video he still working on his English(his accent was very strong). He could speak English but he would have rather spoken Greek. Look at him now🏀🏀🏆
To be fair, he knows better English than some US pros from the NBA. Just look at Dion Waiters' latest post about getting into shape.
Wow! Now he's won an NBA championship 👏.
Humble, down to earth and honest. Never change Giannis! #BucksInSix
Stayed loyal and won. Gotta respect. Should be nba role model
Milwaukee finally found a missing link that was needed since 1971.
Wisconsin loves you Giannis 🏆👏👍
Kid was raw in every sense..
He was spot on...Milwaukee made him great! Such a humble dude always striving to get better.
He is soooo cute : )
He's so humble
Nobody in Milwaukee is asking Giannis who he is and if he plays basketball now
Hello everyone from 6-5 years ago...giannis is a champion now....
The future is bright
"I got two more years to grow, I could be like 7 foot"😂😂😂
well he's not wrong ahahahaha
The guys who did this interview is proud now for sure. Giannis is a super star 💫 amazing aware personality. 👏🏾 🎉 props to his parents for such well educated kids.
He better put in work this season cuz i drafted him on my fantasy league
Went from the streets to success, I'm glad to witness his rise to greatness, keep it up Giannis!
Forever a legend.. Bucksin6
Watching this video now , looks like he predicted the future
He is so sweet and different toother NBA players, one of my favourites! 👌🏾
Vice didn't know what a gem they produced in 2014, έτσι ρε Γιάννη συνέχισε να τους αποδεικνύεις ποιός είσαι και που οδηγεί η σωστή νοοτροπία και ηθική δουλειάς
Watching this now is crazy
I love how when he is in the car his knees are bent so much and they are so high up lol
He turned out to be great wish him the best
indeed he became GREAT!!!!!
Very nice guy, I wish him the best.
Congrats Champ 👑
He is a man with values. Well said Yannis.
Giannis*
Tadoe yannis is more correct for the pronunciation. Giannis is letter for letter but the pronunciation yannis is closer
@@innosanto Well we’re reading his name bud you don’t spell out his name like that for pronunciation when you’re not going to say it
This is beautiful. I was not expecting myself to watch this whole video. I really enjoyed it.
Watching this in 2019.. :D what an amazing guy, wish him all the best!
Now he's a champion. You love to see it
once kobe retires giannis will officially be my favorite player in the nba lol
Nice
ngl i teared up a little bit
Σε αγαπαμε Γιαννη ειμασται ολοι Ελληνες
επισης σε αγαπάμε Λεμπρον Τζειμς ειμασται ολοι Ελληνες.
Damn nice dude! Best of luck to him and the bucks.
whos here after Giannis won MVP?
ABSOLUTE BEAST
He didn't know what a buffet was until he came to America. Funny as hell but man he's come such a long way, now one of the best if not the best in the NBA
You gotta love this guy!
Being from down south, I missed the trees & fields when I visited NY. It's just a concrete jungle like my old school teacher use to call it
Watching this 2 years later he has improved a looooooot
This guy became GREAT. WOW
What a great guy.
Who would've thought this guy would turn into a Greek God 🐐💪 #FearTheDeer
Giannis the NBA champ!
and now you're a champion man, keep being humble and keep being memeing NBA Players too haha
