Giannis Antetokounmpo: The Story of How Giannis Antetokounmpo Became the Most Exciting Player in the NBA (The NBA's Most Explosive Players)

Bought for my nephew for Christmas, he doesn’t like reading, but if it involves sports, he’ll get involved! One of his favorite players, quick read, great practice! He was very excited about it!

Loved everything about the book

Book purchased for my child who wanted to learn more about the person and player.

This is a very thin book with no photos. I wish there was more to this book, but there is good information and my son enjoyed me reading it to him.

This book is great for those parents who are caught in the remote learning cycle. If you have a young basketball geek in your home, this would be a great reading assignment for them. It's writing is clear and simple and oh yeah, the story is great and inspirational. This young man was in Greece and as we learn with hard work and determination made it to the NBA.

The story of Giannis Antetokounmpo is interesting. From his humble origins in Greece, peddling sunglasses on street corners, to his discovery at age 13, bring drafted, and his rise to dominance in the NBA and Player of the Year in 2019, I enjoyed the ride. Its a success story about immigrants living the American Dream. Full disclosure: I was given a free copy of this manuscript but that did not influence my review.

This was an enjoyable book about one of the NBA's rising stars that can be inspirational for kids and grown-ups alike. If you have someone in your family that likes reading books about athletes, then this is a good one to pick up. I learned a lot about Giannis by reading this book and it can remind young athletes of what it takes to be great and have a growth mindset.

This book is an excellent example of how to get young people interested in reading by giving them a subject they can warm up to. My only suggestion is the book could have used one additional round of editing. Most of the book is written in past tense, but occasionally the author slipped into present tense. In those instances it took me a minute to figure out exactly what time frame the author was in. But again, a good story and a really good read for young people.
