One of many riveting reads in the Basketball Biography Books series by Clayton Geoffreys. Newly revised for the start of the 2022-2023 NBA season, Giannis Antetokounmpo: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball’s Rising Superstars explores the inspirational story of one of basketball’s greatest superstars, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Often nicknamed “”The Greek Freak””, Giannis Antetokounmpo has quickly emerged as one of the most unique players in the league today. His incredible wingspan and athleticism have made him a dominant presence on both the offensive and defensive ends of the basketball court. He is easily one of the most difficult defensive assignments for opposing teams due to his ability to not only start as a forward, but also as a guard. He has become the face of the Milwaukee Bucks franchise and led the team to their first NBA Championship in over 50 years since 1971. His exceptional skills and dominance on the court have earned him multiple accolades, including back-to-back MVP awards in 2019 and 2020, NBA Defensive Player of the Year and six-time NBA All-Star. Despite his already impressive accomplishments, there is still much to be unveiled in the career of Giannis Antetokounmpo. In this book, we’ll learn more about The Greek Freak’s journey into the NBA, his impact on the game, and his growing legacy as one of the best up and coming stars to make his presence known in basketball. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Chapter 1: Childhood and Early Life Chapter 2: NBA Career: Getting Drafted, Rookie Season, Working Under Jason Kidd, Becoming an All-Star, Reaching Elite Superstar Status, The MVP Season, The Dunking Machine, Second MVP, First DPOY, Reaching the Mountaintop Chapter 3: International Career Chapter 4: Personal Life Chapter 5: Impact on Basketball Chapter 6: The Future An excerpt from this Giannis biography book: The NBA loves rags to riches stories about how a person that lived and grew up in poverty worked to get to the league, not only as an ordinary player, but as a superstar ranking among the best in the world. These are the stories that make people adore the player and what he has been through to get to the top. More importantly, these are the stories that inspire young children to work just as hard, if not harder, than their idol to reach the success that they aspire to achieve. Several of the greatest players in league history have had to endure poverty before they found success in the NBA. Allen Iverson barely had a home growing up before he starred at Georgetown. In his MVP speech back in 2014, Kevin Durant said that his mother raised him and his brother alone while the family moved from roof to roof. The same was true for LeBron James, who was raised alone by his mother when she was only 16 years old. These players not only earned millions as NBA superstars but have also become fan favorites because of how they worked their way up to get to the league. Likewise, the NBA has also found a liking for players that were seemingly genetically engineered to dominate in basketball. These are the players that, at a glance, were naturally destined to be great because of the physical tools they possess. If the NBA was a horse race, these players are your thoroughbreds judging by how much more physically gifted and talented they are than the rest of the competition. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
