From there unfolded an epic journey, at turns inspiring, heartbreaking, and triumphant, ultimately landing him in his adopted home of Milwaukee, where he emerged as “The Greek Freak,” a superstar who transcends conventional limits, transforming the game with his athleticism and versatility, all the while striving to use the memory of the loss he endured along the way to spearhead an impact far beyond the court.
The documentary will show interviews with Giannis Antetokounmpo, his mother, Veronica Antetokounmpo, siblings Thanasis, who also plays on the Milwaukee Bucks, Kostas, and Alex Antetokounmpo, as well as his fiancée, Mariah Riddlesprigger. Also contributing are Hall of Fame NBA player Jason Kidd, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Kenny Smith, Vin Baker, and iconic sportscaster Ernie Johnson.
