The Rise of Giannis Antetokounmpo | Documentary 

Just heard the unfortunate news of Herb Kohl’s passing. Rest in peace to the Bucks legend that made this entire story possible with his key contribution to the new arena. Milwaukee will never forget you, rest in peace Herb Kohl.

Dude this was like a movie. I’m speechless. Giannis is my favorite player and it was awesome for getting to relive this moment.

I’m in actual tears. The storytelling, the music, everything worked so well to pull all the right heart strings and release the waterworks

Kings fan here but Giannis is by far and away my favorite player due to stories like his. Nobody embodies Mamba Mentality, family values, and loyalty like he does.

tears in my eyes man, what a masterpiece, Giannis my fav sports player ever, real idol for the future generations. I'm so glad he's playing for the team I love and I'm witnessing greatness every week watching him

I love it when players are loyal to the teams they were originally drafted by. That's a true MVP. A player that carries his team with passion from the bottom all the way to the top without making excuses.

Jokic is by far my favourite player, but this made me appreciate Giannis so much more. Moved from overseas, to a different culture and language, he stayed in the city and team that gave him a chance, and lead the team to championship. What a story.

Crazy this video was uploaded on the day Herb Kohl passed away. He was critical in keeping the team in Milwaukee and for him to watch the Bucks finally get a ring in milwaukee in 2021 must have been so special. RIP legend and thank you.

amazing video, well done!

40:12 Mike Breen's "They're starting to celebrate here in Milwaukee...It's over the Bucks have done it" Man that shit moved me to tears. Amazing video. I hope the Bucks can him a couple more in the upcoming years and we look back at this video as the start of something even more special. Bucks in 6.

Most memorable thing about Giannis's rise for me was how confident and vocal Milwaukee fans were that they found themselves a superstar years before he actually became one lol

the only athlete I ever idolized after Kobe ... not only because my father came from nigeria to europe like he did ... Giannis always seems like such a wholesome person , so genuine and a good role model through and through

They call him fake humble and no skill on twitter, but nobody defines loyalty more imo. The state of Wisconsin invested in him and he invested back... this video encapsulated this relationship more than anyone else I have ever seen.

Watching Giannis 1st MVP acceptance speech always makes me teary eyed

His story is why he will always be my favourite player, just an incredible person and player. Giannis looking up at the banners next to his parents is straight out of a movie, just amazing. Whenever Giannis points to the sky it’s for his father that passed. The moment where Giannis sits down after winning a championship will always make me emotional.

15:15…. The steal, the game winner, the block 😭🔥🔥

You know you've made it when nobody stumbles over your last name anymore😂😂

"I want to be an NBA player" ... not champion, not superstar, just an NBA player! This kid is so humble and grateful! I'm so proud for Giannis

I actually cried in his MVP Speech.

I will never forget riding the bus from Madison to Mke as a 18 year old kid paying $10 twice a week to go see Jennings and then Knight and Sessions in the POS rundown Bradley center and loving every minute of it. What a special team to be a fan of. What a special man to have leading them! Thank you for this

Great video, I’m Greek and there is nothing I want more than us winning something alongside Giannis and everyone involved, let’s hope everyone is healthy this year.

This video makes me proud as a NBA fan who hasn't watched the NBA (or even played any NBA video games) since Jordan's championship years, until Giannis and the Bucks defied expectations in the 2021 Playoffs. I believed in them when few or nobody did. Giannis not only saved an NBA franchise, he also saved me as an NBA fan who has been "dead" from 1998 to 2021.

I absolutely love Giannis' story. As cheesy as I may make it sound, it goes to show that no matter what objective you're trying to overcome, with enough discipline you can go places. There's a reason he is considered the hardest working in the league, even though he faced numerous hardships he still worked through the struggles. He has hit incredible feats and will surely hit more in the future to come. You really can not dislike him, amazing video.

Best Christmas gift any Bucks fan could ask for!! Great video, great highlights, and great way to tell the story of the man that saved our franchise!

This gave me chills Giannis is 2 years older than me I literally watched him become who he is now. Such an inspiring story

You made all Bucks fans and all of Milwaukee happy and proud with this one. Great work.

Wow. An absolute classic! Major props to you for this epic video 🔥🔥

This is an excellent documentary. I had no idea they were close to selling the franchise to Seattle or Las Vegas. The hero story and underrated rise of Giannis is what sports is all about. As a long time Raptors fan, I was happy and over the moon when we won in 2019, but I was also very happy for Giannis and Milwaukee for winning in 2021. May both teams win more championships in the future.

So happy that Greece also has such an amazing role model for the kids. He has moved and keeps moving the needle in racism in Greece and making us better people. I m also so entertained witnessing someone so humble absolutely dominating his profession. This is what humans should aspire to, the pinnacle of humanity. Peace, love, loyalty, family, honour, humility, hard work.

Man, this made me appreciate him a lot more now considering his stats nowadays 🔥🔥

How can you hate this man? Incredible storytelling Will. Hoping my GOAT can win a 2nd title this season.

This is so incredible. I truly hope Giannis knows how inspiring he is to so many of us and how much he means to the whole state. Greatest Wisconsin sports athlete of any sport, ever, bar none. I hope to God that he never leaves because he really is here among family, we love him and his family. He's a Wisconsinite for life and he will always be home here.

Amazing work man, you really encapsulated everything that made this Bucks championship and Giannis’ journey so inspiring. To not even consider joining a super team despite all the pressure there is nowadays just shows the sheer dedication Giannis had in paying back the organization and city that believed in him since day 1. Once again, great work man

This just proves why NBA twitter is the worst place. Cause how can you witness a good kid grow into a good person, achieve greatness, continue to reach new heights, and still hate on him. I’ll never understand it. Phenomenal video.

Man, what a documentary it was! or even a midway biography of his career with insane quality! Freaking cried 2 times. Amazing work.

incredible storytelling, giannis's journey has been truly special and it was delivered so well. first time seeing an independent documentary of this caliber. you have something special and this video is definitely gonna become viral

The single greatest NBA video I’ve ever seen. All the way around. F*cking masterpiece.

The Giannis story will always be inspiring and this take on it brings tears to my eyes like it's the first time I am watching this. His story is a great lesson to all of humanity.

As a bucks fan I’m so glad I’ve been there for his journey and seeing him and the team reach the mountaintop. 2021 was special and hope we can get back there

Amazing video man… I’m from NY and Giannis has been by far my favorite player in the league since like 2016. The first NBA game I ever went to was in 2022 @Nets when Giannis hit the game tying 3 to surpass Kareem as the Bucks all time scoring leader. When he hit that 3 I almost fainted- I couldn’t believe that I was in the arena for that historic moment. I’ll never forget that day it was special. Love the video I’ll be returning to watch it every now and then 💯

What a video! Hard to not be emotional if you are a bucks and giannis fan. One of kind athlete and a great human

Definition of the American Dream. Also him sticking with the Bucks in this business that seems to have forgotten about loyalty. Just amazing.

This truly a masterpiece of a documentary and narrative OF the Milwaukee buck's history, dynamics and Giannis Antetokounmpo rise and resurrection on many levels. Thank you for your creativity, skills, and spin on this documentary. Truely inspiring!

as a jazz fan where we often develop guys like giannis only for them to leave us in their prime, respect to giannis and his championship, thats how you do it.

bro i don’t tear up when i watch videos or movies often but i shed a few for this one. truly a wholesome guy on and off the court ❤

This IS the greatest RU-vid video of all time

Excellent video. One of the better Champion runs in a minute. Who could not love Giannis' story so far.

Μπραβο Γιαννη ΗΡΩΑ. Brilliant video a fitting tribute to a true Hero.

Man, I don’t want to stop watching, but I gotta go into work. I can’t wait to finish watching this on my lunch break. I came back five hours later and watch this man it brought me to tears…. Just a little 😂

A 42 minute video about my favourite player? You my man just earned a sub. I look forward to seeing what you upload next

When I see Giannis so young I can't help but love him like a son. Great story!!!!

This is really teary ❤. “It’s really going to happen someday as long as I keep working hard someday” ~ Giannis Man put the whole pressure on himself and that’s all it takes to win for people not just for YOU.

So genius of you to keep us in suspense by not giving any more narration towards the end. So brilliant.

Fantastic video. As a huge Giannis fanboy I'm stoked to get a 41 documentary on him. The quality is amazing. From the editing, to the pacing and presentation of the story overall, this was amazing

As a bucks fan since 2017 hope we can another championship for giannis and the organization hes a legend

I’m Milwaukee born and this man is more than an nba player. Most of us in Milwaukee had family who came to this country with nothing and alone but through hard work they laid down roots and for the most part every generation there after could give more to their kids. This isn’t of city of suits making millions or billions but a city of people that have to work hard usually in some industry. Giannis most importantly made a commitment to this city and didn’t just leave for a team with “more money” or “better players” like every other big name in the NBA. He made me watch basketball again and it’s been a honor to watch him as I look as someone like him and it reminds me God is real. I don’t think I will see another player or professional like him again. Thank you Giannis

He promised to give 100%, and hasn't given anything less than that! Great human too.

I don’t even watch basketball and I stayed for the whole video. The great storytelling kept me here. This vid breaks a million views easy.

Shared this to all my friends. You deserve it man. Gave me goosebumps and verge of tears

"The Hero of Milwaukee" Beautifully done man love it!!

He was bound for success and there's still more success he's going to achieve. Really good video.

In an age where player empowerment has become player entitlement, Giannis is a breath of fresh air. No pretence, just grit , hard work and a ship load of loyalty from the Bucks organization and back... This is Greatness...!!!

That was better told than a lot of feature films. Congrats on the masterpiece

Absolutely goated video man. I will always sit down to watch Giannis legacy and the Bucks history be displayed with such beautiful detail and attention. Awesome job man!

Never heard of the channel before not even a buck fan and saw all 42 minuts! Very great video!

My favorite player. His MVP speech still brings a tear to my eye. He has such a powerful story. More championships to come.

Enjoying the video from Nigeria 🇳🇬. Also subscribed

So so proud of you Giannis❤ Full fleshed Nigerian 🇳🇬 Oluwa is involved Tears of joy rolled down my eyes❤❤ Things I love to see

You earned my sub from this video. Giannis already was my favorite player - but this just makes you realize how special his story and character are. To think James Harden was jealous of this man 😂😂

You glossed over the love he gets from the Wisconsin people. My family loves him like a brother. Wisconsin takes care of their people, win or lose, i couldn't imagine being a pro athlete and not wanting that.

This is the one. This is going to be my comfort video for years to come. Thank you for this, it really means a lot.

Amazing video man. This should be the first video that pops up when people search Giannis Antetokounmpo Legacy

Great video man. And this is a real hero's journey, both from you that made this video, but Also Giannis. What truly special story ♥️

man that was.. I don't know, I needed this. thank you for this amazing masterpiece reliving these moments moved me to tears

Amazing work I had goosebumps the entire video. Teared up a few times as well. Great job.

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time, just an amazing video!

My boy finna become a legend. mark my words!!!!!

This video is one hell of a masterpiece and deserves more attention

I need to thank you for making this video it is so heartwarming

Everytime I watched this guys story I'm in tears. Bless up bredda

What an amazing, emotional and breath-taking documentary that was. His dedication and loyalty to his team is awe inspiring and willingness not to leave is truly incredible.

Amazing job man this is so incredibly well done! I chose the Bucks on a whim as my favorite team when I first got into basketball playing NBA Live 2004 because I loved the Michael Redd and Bobby Simmons combo. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, lol. Watching Giannis grow into who he's become might be the best experience I've ever had as a sports fan. The thought of this franchise winning a title seemed so farfetched to me until the moment it was actually official. I really appreciate the work you put into this.

Amazingly put together ! Great video showcasing Gianni’s incredible talent and win !

I love your storytelling man, it fr makes it feel like a documentary, big props homie!

So freakin inspirational. Dude is cut from the same cloth as MJ, Kobe and LeBron. So many of the new young guys don't know what hard work and sacrifice is.

this is such an epic video dude, you have made something that we call a masterpiece. Amazing work bro.

super underrated channel and video man. you deserve way more recognition for your storytelling, i know you'll get there one day. keep up the great work

Beautiful video, this just made me realize how awesome of a person Giannis is, he really put in that work man to be who he is today, its inspiring.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!...Wow , This was Moving. I Salute you Giannis 🙌💪

This is Powerful ❤
