Giannis: The Marvelous Journey, Part 3: JoAnne Anton
Listen now
Description
Described by key figures as “the reason Giannis Antetokounmpo felt at home in Milwaukee” when he first moved from Greece, JoAnne Anton was a quietly crucial force during a trying time in the NBA superstar's journey. Stephen Watson of Bally Sports sits down with Anton to discuss the serendipitous circumstances under which their paths crossed, the loneliness he experienced during the first few months of his NBA career, her tireless work to get the rest of the Antetokounmpo family to Milwaukee, and more. Without Anton's care and efforts, Giannis's marvelous journey may not have come to fruition. This inaugural series of Behind The Bucks, presented by Gallagher, explores "Giannis: The Marvelous Journey," a documentary now available on Prime Video, from multiple perspectives.
