Releasing June 24, "Rise" tells the story of the Antetokounmpos' journey from Greece to the NBA. It stars real-life brothers Uche Agada and Ral Agada as Giannis and Thanasis, respectively.
"Rise" also co-stars Jaden Osimuwa and Elijah Sholanke as Kostas and Alexandros Antetokounmpo, with Yetide Badaki portraying the brothers' mother, Vera, and Dayo Okeniyi playing their late father Charles.
