Shoutout to the interviewer for not going to Giannis right away with questions. It's cool that he went to everyone else first. This is literally the first time I've heard some of them speak. He had great questions too
Their mother is beautiful, she doesn’t look old enough to have given birth to those boys. And on their journey so far, Wow 🤩. God is great.🇳🇬

Giannis
What a journey this family has gone through?! How can anyone not like Giannis? He and his family is so humble. They don’t forget their roots.
She was blessed to have 5 sons that are so focused 🙌 🙏 💙.
Vince, as a Nigerian I say great job on this - Giannis is the star but structure suggests that respect and recognition starts from the head. Rightfully, you started with discussing with matriarch Veronica and then to the oldest Thanassis. Giannis would not want it any other way.
It's great to see a young man succeed, and thank God. Love is wonderful!!!!!!
i respect this Man his family
Miracles do happen!! Impossible is nothing. Tremendous acheivent for Giannis and his brother. Such an inspiration to all the young kids out there hoping one day to be like Giannis. Well Done. God bless you and your family. Stay healthy.
Just watched the movie and cried like a baby.

Vince , you did your homework well, starting from Mama and then the eldest brother- that is very respectful. Thank you!
the family is so humble. wow
Wow amazing beautiful story....gives me strength to continue striving. ❤ blessings to the family
One of the most beautiful movies i have ever watched WOW this family love them so much
Excellent interview
I’m not a Bucks fan but I’m a fan of genuine, close knit love that family has for one another and this family has it.
They are the Jackson 5 of basketball
😊so happy for them!
respect σε ολη τη FAMILIA!!!!!!
Shout -out to the brothers & miss Vanessa & pops looking down on his family You guys sound so intelligent & level headed Kind of reminds me of the story of the Jackson 5# one day they're in Gary Indiana the next they're living in LA under the motown Record label & never looked back. Go' bucks Go' let's get another championship in 2022 /23 & the best part about giannis& his brothers is they don't act Boujee & above other people never know when you might run into them In Milwaukee & the surrounding suburbs . Pretty good interview good job young man
RIP Charles🙏

To do the interview this well, on ZOOM?? Incredible talent
Did Disney show them selling bootleg cds? I think they they did which really is an interesting change of events. Love what happened to this family. I cry a happy time all the time.
Very nice movie, especially when you love basketball 😊😊😊
Mama Veronica is capping big time. The chances of Giannis making it out of Greece were slim, he wasn't even on the scouting radar. It was Giannis' destiny, God did.
By far, the easiest player to root for!

3 brothers with 3 rings
Starting at 9 minutes, two Afro Greek (like Giannis) musicians talk about the impact Giannis and his brothers have had on the Afro Greek community in Athens and what their story reveals about racism in Greek society. A conversation that hasn't been heard elsewhere: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJmNzpehqKXglbw.html

Yeah the two younger brothers came to the US seven months after Giannis got drafted. So they came to the US at a very young age.
It 5 brothers
They can all work hard but let's not act like Giannis just wasn't more physically gifted than the others
