Giannis And Kostas Antetokounmpo Star In The Most Epic Chocolate Milk Commercial Ever

 

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s parents are Nigerian, but immigrated to Greece in 1994, shortly before Giannis was born. They didn’t have any papers. Also, the family was very poor and struggled during Giannis’ youth. Giannis and his brothers, Thanasis and Kostas, had to sleep together in one bed, as the family only could afford staying in 2-room appartments and had trouble supplying every member of the family with enough food.

Even in later stages of their childhood, the family barley had anything. They were so poor, that they couldn’t afford basketball shoes for both Giannis and his brother Thanasis. This led to the two never being on the court for the same time, even though they were the two best players on the team. The brothers had to share one pair of shoes (Kobe 4s) during games. When Giannis checked out, he took off his shoes and gave them to Thanasis so he could check in.

This also led to the brothers having an incredible relationship. They are always there for each other and thankfully for the Antetokounmpos, the struggle is long gone. All three brothers are basketball pros and millionaires.

In a commercial for a Greek chocolate milk brand, Kostas and his older brother Giannis relive their childhood and their dream of becoming a basketball pro.

This easily is one of the greatest commercials I’ve ever seen. I’m not crying, you are…
