Rise is based on the true story of the Antetokounmpo family, in particular three Greek-Nigerian brothers: Giannis (Uche Agada), Thanasis (Ral Agada), and Kostas (Jaden Osimuwa), who were the first trio of brothers to become NBA champions in the history of the league. I'm not a basketball fan, and you don't have to be to watch this uplifting sports biopic that shines a light on a truly remarkable family who launched the careers of three NBA champions despite adversity. To top it off, the three lead actors are phenomenal in their first movie roles.
