Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP

by
Mirin Fader

published in

2021
Cover art
September 7, 2021 Amanda K says:
More than basketball, behind the Greek Freak's zero-to-hero journey is simply Giannis: humble, sincere, determined and devoted to family.
The incredible story of the NBA star, who rose from poverty in Athens, Greece, to super-stardom in America with the Milwaukee Bucks and how he has evolved into a devoted father, brother, son, teammate and global icon.

Amanda K

I work in circulation, happily intrigued by both fiction and nonfiction because I'm most interested in storytelling itself. Reimagined fairy tales, stories that balance humor and substance or anything historical are wins for me. When I'm not at the library, I'm a floral designer who's passionate about classic films, nail art, half-marathons, vegan cooking and road tripping to destinations both big and small. And, of course, anything Disney.
