Product Information

The story of Giannis Antetokounmpo's extraordinary rise from poverty in Athens, Greece, to superstardom in America with the Milwaukee Bucks--becoming one of the most transcendent players in history and an NBA Champion--from award-winning basketball reporter and feature writer at The Ringer Mirin Fader. Now in paperback with a new Epilogue. As the face of the NBA's new world order, Giannis Antetokounmpo has overcome unfathomable obstacles to become a symbol of hope for people all over the world; the personification of the American Dream. But his backstory remains largely untold. Fader unearths new information about the childhood that shaped "The Greek Freak"--from sleeping side by side with his brothers to selling trinkets on the street with his family to the racism he experienced. Antetokounmpo grew up in an era when Golden Dawn, Greece's far-right, anti-immigrant party, patrolled his neighborhood, and his status as an illegal immigrant largely prevented him from playing for the country's top clubs, making his NBA rise all the more improbable. Fader tells a deeply human story of how an unknown, skinny, Black Greek teen, who played in the country's lowest pro division and was seen as a draft gamble, transformed his body and his game into MVP material. Antetokounmpo's story has been framed as a feel-good narrative in which everyone has embraced him--watching him grow up, sign a five-year supermax contract extension worth $228 million, and lead the underdog Bucks to the NBA Championship in 2021. Giannis reveals a more nuanced story: how lonely and isolated he felt, adjusting to America and the NBA early in his career; the complexity of grappling with his Black and Greek identities; how he is so hard on himself and his shortcomings--a drive that fuels him every day; and the responsibility he feels to be a nurturing role model for his younger brothers. Fader illustrates a more vulnerable star than most people know, a person who has evolved triumphantly into all of his roles: father, brother, son, teammate, and global icon. ** Instant New York Times Bestseller , Los Angeles Times Bestseller, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, Publishers Weekly Bestseller** **Mirin Fader Selected as the 2021 Sports Media Author of the Year by The Big Lead** ** The Sports Librarian's Best of 2022 - Sports Books**

Reviews
"Mirin Fader traces an upbringing marked by deep family ties, extreme poverty, racism, and xenophobia. Like its subject, this biography is serious, engaging, and, more than anything, inspiring."-- Ben Golliver, author of Bubbleball, "Mirin Fader gives readers a gorgeous portrayal of one of the most unique talents to ever play professional basketball. But Giannis is more than just the comprehensive story of a once-in-a-generation athlete. It is the story of how American promise intersects with iron will, and heartwarming vulnerability."-- Jemele Hill, host of "Jemele Hill Is Unbothered", "[Mirin Fader] wrote the book on Giannis... at the moment that he is transmogrifying into an all-time great."-- David Shoemaker, The Press Box, "Giannis the basketball player is almost too good to be true--and so is his story, told here with vivid writing and meticulous reporting. Mirin Fader's portrait of the young superstar is as graceful, understated, and powerful as Giannis himself. A superb biography."-- Jonathan Eig, author of Ali and Luckiest Man, "[A] masterpiece...the epitome of great sportswriting....Fader's book is reminiscent of a David Halberstam masterpiece, as she uses her hundreds of interviews to paint as complete a picture of Antetokounmpo's still young life as there is."-- The Chattanoogan, "The stories. My goodness, the stories. Mirin Fader's ability to find and tell the most illustrative and humanizing tales really shines through. A player this great deserves his story to be told like this."-- Marcus Thompson, author of Golden and KD, "For years, I have admired Mirin Fader's ability to tell a long-form journalism story. I'm happy (and unsurprised) to say her skillset has translated over perfectly to books. This book is engaging, smart, and unputdownable."-- Shea Serrano, "Around the time that the Greek Freak was busting out in the NBA, Mirin Fader was doing the same thing in her line of work. In a journalism world that had become more and more about opinions, Fader decided that she would be a storyteller, and she invariably spins her tales with vividness and clarity, fueled by endless curiosity."-- Jack McCallum, author of Dream Team, "An inspiring rags-to-riches account....Fader never loses sight of how Antetokounmpo continued to put his family's needs first....[A] captivating portrait of a sincere, diligent, and humble talent."-- Publishers Weekly, "The comprehensive account of [Giannis'] journey to becoming the highly versatile MVP he is today.... The depth of Fader's research and the uniqueness of Antetokounmpo's story make this a compelling read. Basketball fans will love it all, especially with Giannis becoming a star player for the Milwaukee Bucks."-- Library Journal, "We think we know everything about modern-day superstars. We're sure we know everything about modern-day superstars. Then along comes Mirin Fader with this nuanced, detailed, revealing portrait of a man who has lived one hundred lives in twenty-six years. A fantastic read that proves most dreams go unaccomplished without toil, despair, grit, and an unyielding quest to soar."-- Jeff Pearlman, author of Three Ring Circus and Showtime
