Giannis: The Marvelous Journey

First of all let me disclose that I am an old broad who knows nothing about basketball or who is who in that game (except maybe for the old great ones like Jordan, Bird, James, O'Neal) however, this documentary moved me and it made me happy and made me want to watch a basketball game! It's an inspiring story of how someone dared to dream and worked hard for that dream because he knows it's the only way to get his family out of poverty and out of Greece. This documentary showed us what a person with faith and desire can accomplish in order to be great at what he does. This is the kind of documentary that should be seen by young men and women to inspire them to pursue with all their might what they dare to dream.

This is a must-watch for any person that believes in hard work, family values and perseverance. These lie at the core of the man Giannis we all know today. The documentary is a masterpiece. Outside sporting rivalries, it's hard not to love him and see how much of humanity he exudes.

The theme around family survival and how it impacts his disposition and his performance was a masterstroke. Maybe this will affect people's thought process per viewing the immigrant next door as more than just leeches and grifters, but folks who, aside from just trying to survive, nurse noble aspirations too.

The next documentary on him should be done after he retires. This crowns the earlier efforts to capture the story of the Greek Freak.

What an incredible young man! What an incredible family! What an incredible journey! This is so inspiring, I can't even put in words! You got to love Giannis Antetokounmpo - he is the definition of a true warrior, known for great sportsmanship who loves his family and knows Where he comes from! Best role model there is! Fantastic documentary that gave me goosebums and hit me right to the core! LOVE IT!!!!

Wow this is a massive step up from the last Giannis documentary I saw. This one got pretty emotional and is put together very thoughtfully. What really stood out to me was the blend of archival footage with scenes recreated by younger actors. It added a fresh dimension that was both engaging and insightful. It as also really cool to see footage from his earlier days in Greece, as well as the championship footage that I remember watching live. As a Bucks fan, Giannis is obviously our guy, but I realized through this documentary just how much of his journey and dedication to the game was unknown to many of us. Seeing the extent of his hard work and perseverance laid out like this was not only inspiring but also gave me an even deeper appreciation for what he brings to the court. We are witnessing the making of an absolute legend within the sport. Definitely a must-watch for fans and even the casual viewer who loves a good story of determination and success.

Giannis's life is one for the storybooks. If someone tried to tell you the story of a kid from the streets of Greece, who's family has nothing, would one day become one of the greatest players of basketball in the world, you would never believe them. When you find out it's not just about being successful at a game but caring deeply about your family and using that success to help them build a future, the story becomes even more incredible. I live in the Milwaukee area and was a season ticket holder in the years before Giannis. I've always loved our team but watching Giannis grow has been better than being just a fan of the game. You don't need to be a sports fan to understand this story. I hope you watch and I'm sure you'll agree it's about more than basketball. It's about desire, pride, and hard work. But most of all it's about family.
