It’s a reminder that the sporting world’s celebrated and lavishly compensated larger-than-life figures still have regular-sized emotions, and sometimes, even smaller ones than that.

Athlete biography documentaries often fall flat, but they don’t often have a story as compelling as that of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis: The Marvelous Journey does a great job of telling that story, and even non-basketball fans can appreciate it.

The latest in many fawning nonfiction films about modern athletes, but this one is better than most.

The story of Giannis Antetokounmpo is a heartwarming true story from surviving in Greece to his journey to America and the NBA. Giannis and his family are a true inspiration and this documentary really shows their family spirit. He is the definition of Philotimo. Must see documentary.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

An honest and surprising documentary about Giannis. The rise of Giannis's basketball career was not all that was shown here. The more I saw, the more I understood why Giannis is beloved in Milwaukee and vice versa. It was heartwarming and refreshing to see his story. I truly loved it and loved the interviews. Good people do exist in this world and Giannis is one of them.
