In a very special episode of The Play-By-Play Analysis, New York Times Bestselling author Mirin Fader stops by to talk about her new book, "Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP," an autobiography that takes a detailed look into the early life and upbringing of one of the NBA's brightest superstars, Giannis Antetokounmpo. We discuss the process of putting the book together in the midst of a global pandemic and the challenges that came with it, the role identity politics have played in Giannis's story and the struggles of balancing multiple different identies (being Greek and Nigerian, assimilating to American culture and most notably fitting in with the NBA family), why his family is the most important thing in his life and some of the story's most memorable anecdotes--From Giannnis knowing exactly how many Oreos there were in a package and confronting a member of his team for eating three of them despite being a multimillionaire, to the Hawks nearly landing him in the NBA Draft had the Bucks not picked before them to catching a ride with fans to the Bucks arena before a game during his rookie year.
