Giannis Antetokounmpos

The most famous child of the Antetokounmpos, Giannis grew up in the Athens neighborhood of Sepolia.

As mentioned earlier, Giannis’ parents were immigrants and because of that, they could not easily find work, so Giannis and his older brother, Thanasis, helped by hawking watches, handbags and sunglasses in the streets.

For the first 18 years of his life, Giannis could not travel outside the country and was effectively stateless, having no papers from Greece or Nigeria.

Giannis was eventually issued Greek citizenship on May 9, 2013, less than two months before the 2013 NBA Draft.
