Giannis is committed to passing these values on to both others and his family

While growing up in the lively city, Giannis sold watches, handbags, and sunglasses on the streets to make ends meet and sometimes even slept in the gym. The now eight-time All-Star shared this challenging journey with his five brothers, which undoubtedly strengthened their bond for a lifetime. Without them, ‘The Greek Freak’ might not have reached his current status, so he understands the importance of always having his brothers’ backs.

Now, Giannis aims to pass these values on to others and to his own family. Recently married to his longtime girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, they have three children who are undoubtedly fortunate to have a dad who exemplifies fundamental principles like family ties and humility.
