br/>Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has cemented his status among the greats in NBA history.


The No.15 pick in the 2013 draft has put together quite the resume as a six-time All-Star, 2020 DPOY, back-to-back MVP (2019, 2020) and 2021 NBA champion and Finals MVP. Along the way, he also became the Bucks' all-time leading scorer.

His brother, Thanasis,has been alongside him in Milwaukee since his first MVP campaign. The following year their younger brother, Kostas, won a title with the Los Angeles Lakers.

"It's hard to have three brothers get drafted,"Giannis said in 2020./p>

As the first trio of brothers to win NBA titles, the Antetokounmpos have done far more than just make the league. Now their story is being told on a global platform.

On Tuesday, Disney released an official trailer for "Rise," an original film that documents the family's journey, described as a mixture of Nigerian heritage, Greek nationality and extraordinary athletic ability.

It will be available to stream on June 24.br/]
