    Masterpiece

    Such a real documentary! Giannis is a role model of a person who will inspire and influence many generations to come. I'm glad that Amazon created this masterpiece. The best documentary I've ever watched related to sports or a person in general. It is filled with fantastic messages about family bonds, integrity of character, loyalty and love. I believe that whoever watches this documentary won't be able to resist from feeling all the emotions that Giannis had been experiencing in various moments of his life, illustrated in the it. It's so emotional and inspiring for everyone to watch, regardless of wether they like basketball or not. It will give you a better perspective in life and help you be grateful for every little thing you have with you might be taking for granted! Absolutely amazing! 👏👏👏

    From Humble Beginnings to Bucks Glory

    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.

    The family first

    Is a masterfully crafted documentary that dives deep into the life of Giannis Antetokounmpo, showcasing his evolution from a young boy in Greece to an international basketball icon. The film is not just about basketball-it's about overcoming obstacles, staying grounded in family values, and proving that hard work and determination can break down any barriers.

    The narrative weaves together his struggles, including moments of uncertainty and perseverance, with uplifting milestones that highlight his relentless drive and talent. The cinematography is striking, capturing both the energy of the basketball court and the emotional depth of his personal journey.

    What sets this documentary apart is its ability to connect with viewers on a human level, even if they're not fans of the sport. Giannis' story is a universal tale of hope and ambition, and the film handles it with care, authenticity, and heart. This is a must.

    Great Documentary

    Very inspiring I'm not really a big fan of basketball as it's not a big sport this part of the world but watching from watching a few of this documentaries now I have a beta understand of the game. I shed a tear or 2 over the story just as an African living besides immigrants everyday nd losing my dad at an early age aswel I can relate better.

    I recommend everybody especially young ppl to watch they will be inspired.

    As for the treatment international countries give immigrants wish one day it can change there's a guy who says it straight Greece doesn't deserve Gianni and I feel the same pity they embrace the country as they were born there.

    What an amazing young man

    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.
