After being drafted 15th overall in 2013, Antetokounmpo steadily rose to become a true superstar. Despite this remarkable journey to famҽ, the 2021 NBA champion evidently never forgets his humble beginnings in Athens, Greece
Giannis sold watches, handbags, and sunglasses on the streets of the busy city as a child to make ends meet. He even slept in the gym sometimes. The now-eighth-time All-Star went through this hard time with his five brothers, which will surely make their bond stronger for life. ‘The Greek Freak’ realizes how important it is to always have his brothers’ backs because they helped him get where he is now.
Giannis now wants to teach these morals to other people and to his own family. He just got married to his longtime girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, and they have three kids. The kids are very lucky to have a dad who shows them how to be humble and value family.
