Ever since word came out that Disney would be producing a film about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s life, my eyes haven’t stopped rolling. Sure, it’s made for the big screen, but I figured it would be some schlocky, straight-to-dvd level of film. Now, the first trailer for “Rise” based on Giannis’s family story is here and...my eyes have slowed!
Sons. Brothers. A family of champions
