For example, the NBA basketball player Giannis Antetokounpo grew up in poverty and undocumented in Greece, yet made it to the NBA. His family was going through financial difficulties, and he said, “Despite the difficulties, we were going through. That for sure made us stronger.” Giannis eventually got a shot on the Greek basketball team and he shined and became a top player, and eventually made it to the NBA.
