Giannis Antetokounmpo in Nigeria
Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA's most popular players and is of Nigerian descent.
In addition to winning the 2021 NBA title with his squad, he has won two league overall MVP awards and was voted the 2021 Finals MVP.
However, until last year, the 29-year-old, who was raised in Greece, had never visited his parents' native Nigeria.
Instant messaging platform WhatsApp released a documentary about Antetokounmpo coming to Nigeria in 2023.
In the brand-new WhatsApp short documentary Ugo: A Homecoming Story, the celebrity describes his first trip to Nigeria and how he saw, touched, and felt a people, a country, and family he had only ever known from a distance.
The documentary, which was directed by Rick Famuyiwa, follows Antetokounmpo as he travels through marketplaces, cities, and beaches.
Nigerian designers and artists share their perspectives on the distinctive culture of their nation throughout the film.
In a standout moment, Antetokounmpo stops his vehicle in the middle of bustling Balogun Market to exchange a replica of his own Milwaukee Bucks jersey for a replica from a vendor.
