In a new documentary from Prime Video Sports, the remarkable life of NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo takes center stage. The trailer for 'Giannis: The Marvelous Journey,' exclusively shared by PEOPLE, provides a glimpse into the ups and downs faced by this extraordinary athlete. Throughout the film, Giannis and his family recount their experiences, including a heartbreaking moment that almost led him to abandon basketball altogether.
In 2017, Giannis's father, Charles Antetokounmpo, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack in Milwaukee. The loss was devastating for the then 22-year-old star, who found himself contemplating quitting the sport he loved. 'I said, 'I don't want to play no more,'' Giannis admits in the trailer. Even his fiancée, Mariah Riddlesprigger, thought that his basketball career was over. Nevertheless, Giannis found the strength within to persevere.
