What Rise Is About
Charles and Vera Antetokounmpo left Nigeria for Greece and spent years raising five children under the constant possibility of deportation, blocked from the citizenship that would have made the family legally visible. The children sold small goods to tourists in Athens and played basketball in whatever hours were left over. Akin Omotoso tells the story from inside the household rather than from the court, so the shared meals and the paperwork carry as much weight as the games do. It follows Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas toward the NBA without pretending that the family’s struggle ended there.
