Giannis Antetokounmpo: Hands| Is playing tonight| Salary…
Giannis Adetokunbo was born in Athens, Greece, on December 6, 1994, the son of immigrants from Nigeria. Three years earlier, his parents had moved from Lagos, leaving their firstborn son, Francis, under the care of his grandparents. Adetokunbo grew up in the Athens neighborhood of Sepolia. His parents, as immigrants, could not easily find work, so Giannis and his older brother, Thanasis, helped by hawking watches, handbags and sunglasses in the streets. In 2007, Adetokunbo started playing basketball.

Giannis’ outrageous hand length of 9.85 inches is also something worthy of mention which is longer than those of 7’1″ Rudy Gobert. The Greek Freak has a whopping 26.3% wider hand span than Bol Bol, who is 7’2″.
