Antetokounmpo took to Twitter to confirm that the film was happening and that Disney is opening up a casting search for people who look like a young Giannis.

“Disney is making a movie based on my family’s story and they are searching for actors to play me and my brother, Thanasis, in our younger days,” Giannis tweeted. “No experience necessary! It helps if you resemble the handsome boys pictured below and have some basketball experience. SPREAD THE WORD!”
