Nike On How Giannis Antetokounmpo Came Out Of Nowhere And Became A Superstar

You may not know how to properly pronounce his name but you know that Giannis Antetokounmpo (pronounced a-de-to-kum-bo) is one of the brightest stars shining in the NBA’s first round playoffs this year. Nike Basketball is back with their ongoing Come out of Nowhere video series to showcase just how much the Greek Freak had to go through to make it to basketball’s biggest stage. After an inside look at how Devin Booker became one of the most dangerous scorers in the league despite being looked over throughout high school, the latest video details how Giannis picked up a basketball for the first time in 2007, sold sunglasses to help his family survive through Greek poverty, and how his numerous growth spurts propelled him into one of the NBA’s most singularly unique talents.
