Giannis Antetokounmpo Q&A: Life as an NBA Superstar and Brand Salesman

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo knows the ins-and-outs of being a salesman. It wasn’t too long ago that he was on the streets of Greece selling merchandise such as glasses, watches, CDs, and DVDs to help support his family.

While the 23-year-old does not have to peddle on the street anymore, he hasn’t lost his ability to sell. The hunger to provide for his family has drove Antetokounmpo to new heights as he prepares for his biggest season yet in the NBA. He has evolved from a scrawny unknown prospect from Greece to a major MVP candidate.
