人物傳記

        Giannis would find comfort in the sport of basketball. In 2007, a local coach noticed his talent and asked him to play professional basketball in Greece. At the young age of 13, he started his career. He worked hard every day to improve and finally became one of the league’s best players. At age 18, he was selected 15th in the NBA draft . After a successful start to his career, Giannis signed a US$100 million contract with his team in 2016.

        He wasn’t satisfied with just becoming a star on the court, though. Giannis’ childhood taught him how difficult life is for poor people. Now, he is active in many community programs so he can give back to others. In 2018, he donated money and volunteered to hand out over 27,000 meals to people in need. In the following year, he also returned to Greece, where he organized a special charity event for children with cancer.
