After the Hollywood release of the movie “Rise” (produced by Disney) about the life of the family of Giannis Antetokounmpo, it finally premiered in the Athens neighbourhood of Sepolia, where the NBA star grew up.
The event was hosted on Tuesday at the Triton Stadium in Sepolia, where it all started for the “Greek Freak”

Antetokounmpo naturally stole the show, since he is in the places where he started to show his talent, while with him was his whole family (Thanasis, Kostas, Alex, Francis and their mother, Veronica).
In Sepolia were also his Milwaukee teammates Pat Connaughton, Jevon Carter and Jordan Nwora along with two coaches, his managers and great basketball personalities such as Theodoros Papaloukas.
George Mazonakis was also there, along with the GM of Olympiacos, Nikos Lepeniotis.
Of course, several children rushed to see and deify Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brothers up close, creating a great atmosphere in an area that evokes memories for the Antetokounmpo family.
