    Refreshing

    This was a refreshing documentary. Many documentaries made about celebrities is like an extended version of cribs "look what I have now". They come across materialistic and out of touch with reality. This documentary was different. From start to finish the most important aspect of Giannis' life was his family. His drive, success, and future ambitions were never about himself or his ego; they are fuelled by those he cares about most. He doesn't play down the hard work but shows where determination can get. Success is stepping stones and the support of a loving family is the most important thing along the way. New respect for this man. He's a true inspiration.

    Earned it all

    I'm not a basketball fan, but what this man has accomplished & become is incredibly impressive & inspiring! To see this man grow into this great athlete & experience everything new for the first time. Not for himself but the future for his family! It's true amazing, along with his loyalty & dedication to be & do his best,... it's unreal & unheard of!

    A must watch for everyone, after watching you'll be a fan! I actually appreciate this man for his great values & hard work to be his very best for his team, watching him play is magical! A true hero & roll model for everyone! I can say after watching this documentary I've become a bucks fan!

    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.

    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.

    Well done documentary

    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.
