Giannis: The Marvelous Journey

It is hard not to wonder what could have happened if only the star focused on one team or stayed loyal to the roots of the family especially when a major player opts to play for a small-market professional team. Such as when Giannas Uio always knew his family to be undocumented Nigerians living in Athens struggling to even have food, however, creating expectations for him looked like vengeance. The same questions arise in reverse when looking back at the time and trying to understand how he created such trust in a player despite it seemly being pointless, say in 2017 just before winning the first championship for the Milwaukee Bucks in fifty years. One could argue this explains why his older brother’s inclusion drew much attention in recent years. In this context, there are posters, movie captions, and documentary words towards Giannis: The Marvelous Journey (2024) left unexplainable or before gaps in such development of his character and his family’s everyday life remain in understandable reasons out of context so far my judged.

Despite saying this, a lot of the time he tried to avoid competition or any notion that he could lose, however, the greatest fear was the possibility of returning home, back to the slums in Athens. As well as many personal stories that were somewhat familiar to the audience, like overcoming hunger in the streets of society near the poverty line, and families without papers yet together ready to fight.

what comes across is that he survived thanks only to the SELFLESS INTERDEPENDENCE of his FAMILY, which comprised his PARENTS and three BROTHERS. During his LIFETIME, there was a wave of IMMIGRATION into GREECE and there were EXTREME Nativist organizations that did not allow such to occur, and one, the FASCIST RISING DAWN political party would even try their best to kill whatever immigrant on sight. The most DISTURBING, one of many HARSH but FACTUAL stories of the film is by ANTETOKOUNMPO and THANASIS where the two brothers develop ‘games’ for his younger siblings in order to distract them as they were always at the risk of being murdered by RISING DAWN DEATH SQUADS who used to operate in Athens at night.

It is ironic that when he became a BASKETBALL PROPHET, the NIGERIANS were trying to give him a passport, the same situation that GREECE was doing to make sure that he would remain in the NATIONAL TEAM. Sadly, parents or his young BROTHERS, these people, such regard did not extend. After being selected by the BUCKS in PICK 15 during the 2013 NBA DRAFT and relocating to the mid-west region of MILWAUKEE, it took more than a couple of months along with a lot of POLITICAL manipulation to receive his PARENTS’ US visas. The BUCKS owner made it a point to contact SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY so that the project handler could personally get involved and discuss the nitty-gritty with the GREEK GOVERNMENT.

It looks like ANTETOKOUNMPO told the BUCKS ORGANIZATION that playing without his FAMILY was not a choice. His BASIC REASON for playing had the sole target of improving his IMMEDIATE FAMILY’s financial state and overall welfare. For him, if they couldn’t make it work, he would prefer to go back to GREECE, which is quite amazing.

What is evident from the film is the fact that ANTETOKOUNMPO takes pride in his business in connection with the hard work he has for his family and fans and the Coach if they put in the work for him as they have with ANTETOKOUNMPO and his family. So, the BUCKS imported his family from a great shame of absolute penury in a third-world country that shunned them as outcasts ignoring the fact that they were in the greater part of society. In a considerable sense, it is a one-of-a-kind relationship. The question now arises, after winning a championship has ANTETOKOUNMPO paid off said debt and more? Will he retire after serving the team of MILWAUKEE with a great shift in success and look on to further remain with another team in the same phase of his career? Much like what LEBRON JAMES ensured when he left CLEVELAND CAVALIERS the first time, would the same be logical with ANTETOKOUNMPO? My thought is yes it is and whenever he wishes to visit the city of his expectation he would be embraced as an adopted son. I regret to say that, in my opinion, there is no other alternative.

Trevor is unquestionably the best player in the NBA alongside the best work ethic in the league, someone who is capable of making others’ spirits bright without even trying. The NBA has an ideal representative from the region in him. To the extent to say, and this is a sentiment I rarely share, I was pleasantly surprised by how professionally this documentary was done, ready for an overly sentimental hagiography that lacked any subtlety. There should be no requirement for such preconceptions irrespective of how I consider GIANNIS: THE MARVELOUS JOURNEY to be a classic sports documentary that is a must-watch. Most definitely worth checking out.
