Mirin Fader talks about here book "GIANNIS" coming on August 10 with Giannis Antetokounmpo 8 wins away from his NBA championship off the biggest win of his life. Giannis' life began in poverty in Greece, the son of immigrants from Nigeria who struggled to become citizens, find jobs and opportunity in basketball. The Antetokounmpos changed their name, hustled for food and grew enough to draw the interest of basketball coaches in lower leagues. Eventually the NBA found him and questioned his upside, with some staying away before the Milwaukee Bucks committed at No. 15 in the 2013 NBA Draft and got the benefit of a late growth spurt to 7 feet. Giannis exploded and put on more weight within a few years to become a staggering force comparable to Shaquille O'Neal. He's become a different mold of a star in today's NBA, without the AAU friendships and committing to Milwaukee for a second contract instead of bolting to Miami, Toronto or Dallas. Will it pay off with a title? The Bucks staggering execution, coaching and Giannis' shooting woes continue to raise doubts, as Mirin talks about his struggles and how she's following his greatest playoff run yet in the months before the book.

Abdul-Qadir discussed his demands in Syracuse and weighed in on the impact of athletes and celebrities like the NBA and WNBA players speaking out and striking last week.
