Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, affectionately known as "The Minions", were an Indonesian men's doubles pair who burst onto the scene in 2015, making an immediate splash, and then went on to not just dominate the men's doubles landscape winning many, many titles, but they also changed how it was played...likely forever!
With Marcus Fernaldi Gideon announcing his retirement on his 33rd birthday it drew a line under any possibility of a Minions return. Surely a sad day for their fans and Indonesian badminton.
Because of this I just had to make a video all about their career.
In this video I lay out their entire career, from how they became a pair in the first place, to how they dominated, what was it they changed in men's doubles forever, and maybe most pressing of all, how they got the Minions nickname.
A huge thank you goes out to my wife as well, as she was the one who helped me with creating the Indonesian subtitles. I hope all my Indonesian fans appreciate this extra little touch.
If you do then please like, share and comment, letting my wife know her hard work is appreciated.

Enjoy the video everyone.
