Giannis and his older brother Thanasis sold watches, purses, and sunglasses in the streets to support their parents, who struggled to obtain employment due to their immigration status.
Giannis began playing basketball in 2007. Despite the fact that Giannis and three of his four brothers were born in Greece, they did not automatically acquire Greek citizenship because of the jus sanguinis system used by that country.
Adetokunbo was virtually stateless for the first 18 years of his life, unable to leave the country and lacking any documentation from either Greece or Nigeria. Less than two months before the 2013 NBA Draft, on May 9, 2013, he was finally granted Greek citizenship.
