Giannis Antetokounmpo first TV interview (with english subs)

[@sab605]

I live a block away from Giannis in River Hills, Wisconsin. Once in awhile, I see him walking around the neighborhood. One time, my son and I were shooting hoops and I asked him if he wanted to take a couple shots and he said sure. He signed his basketball for him. A day or two later we found a pair of tickets in our mailbox. He's a nice young man.

[@7FlyingPenguin]

You basically don't get footballers who are that tall due to it being a lot about speed, stamina and the fact that the ball is mostly on the floor. Normally the only players over 6'5 are keepers. Having said that, Giannis is very quick for his size, so who knows.

Απλά δεν μπορούσα να κρατήσω τα δάκρυά μου χθες. Έχοντας ζήσει στην Ελλάδα ως παράνομος μετανάστης, ξέρω από πρώτο χέρι τις προκλήσεις που πρέπει να αντιμετωπίσει αυτός και η οικογένειά του. Τα λυπημένα πράγματα είναι εκεί όπου και εξακολουθούν να είναι χιλιάδες, αν όχι δεκάδες χιλιάδες Γιάννης στην Ελλάδα, που η ελληνική κυβέρνηση και οι εχθρικοί νόμοι και οι μεταναστευτικές πολιτικές τους απέναντι στους μετανάστες έλειψαν να χτυπήσουν τα ταλέντα τους. Ας ελπίσουμε ότι η ιστορία του Γιάννη μπορεί να το αλλάξει.

Να υπάρχει και κοινή λογική φίλε. Δε γίνεται να δίνει η Ελλάδα χαρτιά στους λαθρομετανάστες. Θα γεμίσει με 100 εκατομμύρια λαθρομετάναστες μετά, και θα ζούνε και σε άθλιες συνθήκες τόσο οι λάθρο όσο και οι γηγενείς Έλληνες. Δλδ τώρα εσύ επικροτείς την παρανομία με τα λόγια σου. Η πιο σωστή λύση για όλους είναι να κλείσουν τα σύνορα, να μην υπάρχει κανείς λαθρο, να κάνει προσκλήσεις η Ελλάδα σε συγκεκριμένο αριθμό μεταναστών και να έρχονται Ελλαδα με χαρτιά και να τηρούν βασικές προϋποθέσεις, όπως καθαρο ποινικό μητρώο κλπ. Ετσί τοσο οι μετανάστες θα ζουν αξιοπρεπώς με χαρτιά, όσο και οι γηγενείς. Απλά τα πράματα και νόμιμα.
