The reigning NBA MVP was born in Greece in 1994 but did not become a Greek citizen or hold any form of ID until he was 18.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has revealed that just six years ago he was scared of leaving the house as he feared he might be deported. Born to Nigerian parents in Athens, Greece, the Milwaukee Bucks star did not hold a passport or any form of IDs until he became a Greek when he turned 18..The same fear stalked his four brothers, and Antetokounmpo explained that growing up they struggled to understand why they were treated differently from their friends.

A temporary relocation scheme for asylum seekers who had arrived in Greece and Italy was signed off by the European Union in 2015, but was sabotaged by a number of countries over the next two years and has since been abandoned.
