The Rise of Giannis Antetokounmpo | Documentary

Just heard the unfortunate news of Herb Kohl’s passing. Rest in peace to the Bucks legend that made this entire story possible with his key contribution to the new arena. Milwaukee will never forget you, rest in peace Herb Kohl.

They call him fake humble and no skill on twitter, but nobody defines loyalty more imo. The state of Wisconsin invested in him and he invested back... this video encapsulated this relationship more than anyone else I have ever seen.

[@greekveteran2715]

Jealousness is demon sht. Demons always try to make white look black and the black white, they alway invert reallity, because Evil can't stand "Good" and Giannis is the defenition, of a good guy. a loyal boy, that did whatever he promised and then some more. The best role model, this world had in decades. To tell you the truth, I'm 42 years old and I can'r remember, a better role model. Young people take notes. The right path, is the hard one! ALWAYS the hard one.

I’ve always idolized him since I always saw myself in him in terms of body type(I’m not 6’11 but tall n skinny) but also his humor and his ambition. This video brought a tear to my eye on how well done it is and couldn’t be happier my favorite player achieved these heights with more to climb.

Watching Giannis 1st MVP acceptance speech always makes me teary eyed

[@adamkostowicz7289]

I’m Milwaukee born and this man is more than an nba player. Most of us in Milwaukee had family who came to this country with nothing and alone but through hard work they laid down roots and for the most part every generation there after could give more to their kids. This isn’t of city of suits making millions or billions but a city of people that have to work hard usually in some industry. Giannis most importantly made a commitment to this city and didn’t just leave for a team with “more money” or “better players” like every other big name in the NBA. He made me watch basketball again and it’s been a honor to watch him as I look as someone like him and it reminds me God is real. I don’t think I will see another player or professional like him again. Thank you Giannis

His story is why he will always be my favourite player, just an incredible person and player. Giannis looking up at the banners next to his parents is straight out of a movie, just amazing. Whenever Giannis points to the sky it’s for his father that passed. The moment where Giannis sits down after winning a championship will always make me emotional.

I absolutely love Giannis' story. As cheesy as I may make it sound, it goes to show that no matter what objective you're trying to overcome, with enough discipline you can go places. There's a reason he is considered the hardest working in the league, even though he faced numerous hardships he still worked through the struggles. He has hit incredible feats and will surely hit more in the future to come. You really can not dislike him, amazing video.

This video makes me proud as a NBA fan who hasn't watched the NBA (or even played any NBA video games) since Jordan's championship years, until Giannis and the Bucks defied expectations in the 2021 Playoffs.
