Learning from LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo took extremely humane actions with the community in his hometownStanding on the throne of the 2021 NBA champion, Giannis Antetokounmpo is increasingly trying to use his voice to make a difference in the world. Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks star chose his hometown of Greece as the place to start this journey.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has extremely humane actions towards his community in Greece

The 26-year-old player founded a sports academy called AntetokounmpoBros Academy, in partnership with Nike, Onassis Foundation and EuroHoops Organization. With the help of his brothers, Giannis wants to create a healthy environment, suitable for children regardless of background, religion or skin color.

Each year, the academy will welcome about 100 students and 12 coaches from disadvantaged communities in different countries and societies. This creates opportunities for them to develop their sports talents even though they do not have many conditions.

With the message: “No Hoop IS Too High” , Giannis Antetokounmpo’s sports academy brings inspiration to children to dare to dream and dare to do. they

Before changing their lives in the NBA, the Antetokounmpo brothers were unlucky immigrant children who had to scrape together every penny to get by. Therefore, they understand very well the feeling of being an “outsider”, always longing to have a full life like everyone else. Giannis Antetokounmpo shared that he wants his academy to become a home.

AntetokounmpoBros Academy is not only a learning and playing environment but also a home for many young people.

Besides, Antetokounmpo’s family believes that, with proper education and support, disadvantaged children studying at the academy can develop in a healthy and balanced way both physically and psychologically. “Greek Demigod” focuses on moral training for young people so that in the future they will not only become good players but also good teammates and useful citizens for society.

Most of Giannis’s students are quite self-conscious and scаred. The “Greek demigod” hopes to help children go beyond their limits the same way he changed his life in the NBA.

It seems that Giannis Antetokounmpo himself also learned these philosophies from a senior. That person is none other than LeBron James. The Lakers star also came from a rather humble background. In 2018, LeBron founded an elementary school called Ià Promise School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
