Adidas approached me. They were like, hey, would you want to sign with us? I was like, okay. Yeah. What? Yeah. And they said, we will give you $5,000. I said, what, $5,000 euros? Yes. At that time I was making $300 per month in my team. So to you that was a lot of money? Oh my god, what? Come on. They said, come. I was like, please. Like, my older brother was a better player than me at the time. I was like, you guys mind if you sign my brother too? He was like, yeah. We will sign him for $5,000 too. So we go to the office. I took my mom. I said, mom, come with me. And we went to the office, to the headquarters, and then they brought the paper. This is when I realized, like, the business side of things. They gave the, put the paper right here. They said, Giannis Antetokounmpo, $5,000. I was like, uh, where is my brother's contract? It was like, no, you sign yours first and then your brother will sign his. I said, no, no, no, no, that's not what you guys told me. You guys said that I'm like, I'm going to sign, he's going to sign. They're like, yeah, he'll sign, but you sign yours first. Then I said, no brother. My mom was right there. No brother, I can't sign. My mom was like, it's $5,000. I said, mom, no. Then we move on. I'm in the car with my agent, maybe the next day, and a lady from Nike called me. She said, hey Giannis, would you like to come with Nike? I said, yes. I said, how much money would you offer? He's like, we'll offer you $5,000. I said, my brother's in the car. Would you offer him $5,000 too? He said, yes. I said, okay, I'll come with Nike.
