Another Credit we need to give Giannis, is that he stays humble, and very discreetly helps people in need, also in the poor neighborhood he grew up, Sepolia in Athens Greece.
I have 2 favourite Giannis moments. One is the little girl in the autograph line that gave him the art collection. When she broke down and he hugged her, i was like wow. Then there is this other little girl who he gave his sneakers and her shock was so real. Mouth wide open in total disbelief. His effect on people. Wow.
The most incredible thing about Γιαννής and his family is that they have the same smile now , that they had when they were living near poverty! His personality, his soul never changed or deteriorated despite all the glory, fame and money that he has now. That is his most amazing accomplishment!
Best part about this man he goes to my church in Milwaukee and I’m responsible for his security when he’s there. His whole family attend and it’s very awesome to see a star like him and others coming to church
Just wanted to add to the last story at @12:11 which is also my favorite. The couple came out and stated that not only was he running to practice after sending all of his money back home, he did so in the dead of winter...without even a coat or jacket. This man is the true epitome of an under dog. Deserves it all!
Proud of Giannis Antetokounmpo he deserves this Championship and MVP he been with The Milwaukee Bucks since he came into the NBA he fought hard throughout the Years and now it's Paid off. BIG UPS to "The Greek Freak"
Gianni could’ve been a superstar faster by joining a super team. He said it himself - that’s the easy button, because he knew the easy road only gives you easy results. He is especially worthy and deserving of everything life has offered him because he chose the hard road and although it took longer to get to the top it’s more rewarding and glorious than joining a team and pulling only the weight you need to get over the finish line. He persevered through hard work and determination. It takes courage to do that in the face of adversity and even criticism. He never put one bad word in his mouth about his critics. His core values, loyalty to his team and mission to always be his best self will never waiver.
Being raised in NorCal and SoCal cal I’ll always be a Warriors and Lakers fan.. But, I’m very happy to see a class act like Giannis. and his teammates win the 2020/2021 NBA championship. All 3 brothers now have a ring.. Wonderful….
It is heartwarming to know all these about Giannis. This accounts to his humility and family value. He came from humble beginnings. The Nigerians, especially Yoruba Culture, which I belong to, emphasized so much to ‘remembering the son of whom you are’ principle. We believe that we come into the world through our parents and we must cherish them. We also believe we should do everything within our means to provide for the development of our offsprings. And there is this central belief that our Children should be greater than us irrespective of our achievements. And in return, we take care of our family, our parents and siblings, when we are in position to do so. This is what we are. Do we have exceptions? Of course, just like any other culture. We do have people who will deviate from the norms. I am happy for Giannis, his immediate and extended family.
After watching this wonderful video, this man deserves everything he gets in life. One Love #Giannis coming from a bro outta *Dakar Sénégal🇸🇳West Africa✊*
Title: check MVP: check DPOY: check MIP: check All-STAR MVP: check Finals MVP: check 6th man of the year: no but who cares Result: the greatest European player ever and maybe future goat contender
He joked about being 6th man of the year when his time is coming up. I do believe he doesn't mind coming off the bench when he is no longer gonna be in his prime
He dodged a bullet with that space jam 2 😂 Amazing character in this young man he’s disciplined so if he continues he’s going to surpass some of the greats and be a hall of fame legend in the league. Reminds me of Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Motumbo
Nigeria spirit??He has nothing to do with Nigeria other than origin. The language his talks and thinks with, his mentality, behavior, spirit, habbits, way of talking and joking and above all SOUL power is the definition of a good Greek. A masterpiece of a character.
@@kimlew52 No his talent comes from being human, discovered by greeks, trained by greeks and learned to think as greek because guess what. He is greek. With your logic whole American continent should not be called americans because they are europeans that moved there after all, not so long time ago. Another example, what is MJ or any other black player? American or african?
@@ndifrekeotu9086 lol..Dude we are all humans. There is no nigerian blood or greek blood or whatever. I can give blood to a nigerian or receive from one if I need it. LOL OMG...What counts is what you put in someone's head. For example the Greek thought and civilization is why we exist today and we have these advancements, not the blood itself. Lol again
Great video; the only correction I would make is that the Greek pronunciation of Giannis surname is actually the same as in Nigerian: Adetokunbo. The main reason the spelling is different is because in Greek: NT = D and MP = B
His real Nigerian name is Ganiyu Adetokunbo. It is unfortunate that the Westerners will change your original name to what suit them because they don't want to pronounce your real name
@@stevostevo5032 For your info, Giannis, Thanasis, Costas and Alex are Greek names.... they were baptised as Greek Orthodox Christians.... Their older brother is Francis which he was in Nigeria was not... The other Nigerian name Giannis has is Ugo.... Ιωάννης, Αθανάσιος, Κωνσταντίνος, Αλέξανδρος are the full names Giannis, Thanasis, Costas and Alex are the nicknames.
Για λίγους το έχω πει αλλά ο Γιάννης το άξιζε ρε σεις, μάγκας, ο λόγος που διαφέρει από άλλους πετυχημένους και τον γουστάρω είναι γιατί έχει κάτι που μόνο μια Ελληνική λέξη υπάρχει να το περιγράψει, ΦΙΛΟΤΙΜΟ !!!!!
He is showing all signs of a future goat 🐐 and idk how many of you guys will agree but i dont think anyone would dislike him like i have seen people hating lebron jordan or even kobe but not GIANNIS ANTE🐐he is differ his vibe is different he is one of. Kind
Well they say that about most black athletes yet our athleticism makes them billions and wins championships. Lol 😂 you are supposed to be athletic in sports ⚽️ 🏈 🏀 lol 😂 why else call them athletes? Smh 🤦🏾♂️ this world 🌎
@@johncbny Nigerians have been making it everywhere they go because we have the cultural values of family, hard work and education. Yes, Giannis and his brothers grew up in Greece but who are the ones that instill those value in them...their immigrant parents(1st generation). Values starts from home. I guaranteed that if the Brothers aren't playing basketball, they will have professional degree in STEM. Even in Nigeria, people have always had those values and instill them to their children. In the united States Nigerians are one of the most educated group and have a higher median income than overall US household. so...my previous comment is specifically to this video about Giannis, what his family went through to become successful. There are many of us(unknown) that went through that including me. I do know there are other people/group with similar value but this video isn't about them.
Great Person humble loving family now it's time for him to obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ and get to the Body of Christ Romans 16:16 The Church of Christ and ASAP Marry his Fiance, Do the right relationship Holy before God,Jesus Christ and Mankind
thats the worst take sorry. been proven wrong. half his points and his dominance come from the paint. his put backs and second chances. if he shoots from anywhere he loses that complete dominance inside. why would anyone wants GiANNIS shooting? if he shot from outside his % would be drastically lower. ad no boards. thats an archaic way of thinking basketball. thats like saying curry who nails threes at a alarming rate needs to learn to dunk and completely forgo his main skill. if you shoot from midrange even your % drastically lowers. he needs to stay inside as much as possible
@@soulfly3438 I think people mean that the rare times he shoots it would be helpful if he could shoot because he would score more and make those buckets easier. You sound dumb
In fact, you can see that he genuinely loves everyone that contributed to his success. His parents, his team mates, his coach and most of all, the spectators and the owners of the team and fans. What a guy?
Giannis es un excelente jugador sus jugadas son limpias,asombrosas.Es un muchacho fantastico e incondicional Para mi particularmente es el mejor jugador de la NBA Es y sera siempre mi ,idolo.❤🎉😂.

I love this guy, no thug tats, humble, hard working. Can’t ask for a better person for children to look up to and admire.
Another Credit we need to give Giannis, is that he stays humble, and very discreetly helps people in need, also in the poor neighborhood he grew up, Sepolia in Athens Greece.
Hes also the best player in the league at only 26
I love a man that focuses on family first.

Gianni's net worth is: Priceless. All the money in the world is less than Giannis is worth. Giannis is so much more than money
Hard works and family values makes him a great player today. Congrats FMVP and 2020-2021 Nba champion. Hope more championship to come
I wish the same

This young man deserves every accolade he receives!
who said he didnt?
I completely agree
Every single one
A gentleman so humble and honest and love his family who raised him to be a man with class and have a good heart...
My favorite moment was him going to the Chick-fil-A the day after winning the title and seeing the reaction of the fans...priceless
Chic-fil-a should pay him for the free advertising
1/2 a mile from my house and I missed it!
Just wanted to add to the last story at @12:11 which is also my favorite. The couple came out and stated that not only was he running to practice after sending all of his money back home, he did so in the dead of winter...without even a coat or jacket.

Unbelievable story . God is great

This dude and his family are very very humble people. Glad he got a championship for himself and Bucks nation.

So proud of him and everyone around him for sure he is a whole model and a blessing for his family!
My favorite sayings was he was so serious about winning a championship for the Bucks when he was 19 he was bound and determined.
The Greek Freak is a legend indeed!
For me all his struggle and effort is paid because of his perseverance and his family

Working hard is the key of success for Giannis and to all of us, Excellent job Giannis, thanks...

My favorite moment is when he brought a championship to Milwaukee.
Great moment
Too soon. He robbed a senior citizen, probably forvever depriving CP3 of a championship.
This was my least favorite moment of Giannis.

This is very comprehensive. Good job, guys. Giannis is an amazing kid. I wish him more success in his career.
He dodged a bullet with that space jam 2 😂 Amazing character in this young man he’s disciplined so if he continues he’s going to surpass some of the greats and be a hall of fame legend in the league. Reminds me of Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Motumbo

What a great guy. We may have had a changing of the guard. We will see if Lebron fights back or lets it go.
Lebron is full of surprises,but Gianni's is tough competition!
Giannis and Kawhi should play together. They have similar personalities.
My greatest moment will be when the media stop referring to Giannis as the Greek Freak, and instead refer to him as Giannis.
