As Greeks celebrate Giannis Antetokounmpo in unison with Milwaukee Bucks fans after the team won the NBA title, many are still unaware of the MVP's Nigerian roots
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo reacts while holding the NBA Championship trophy, left, and Most Valuable Player trophy after defeating the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of basketball's NBA Finals in Milwaukee on July 20, 2021.
Antetokounmpo scored 50 points in a series-clinching 105-98 Game 6 victory that ended the Milwaukee Bucks' 50-year title drought on Tuesday night. "When I came to the league, I didn't know where my next meal will come from. My mom was selling stuff in the street," Antetokounmpo recalled. Born in poverty in the Athens suburb of Sepolia, the 26-year-old MVP is now sitting on top of the basketball world.
