Fueled by hard work, desire and a crazy dream, Greek basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo has made an incredible journey, rising from one of Athens' poorest suburbs to the top of the NBA.

To mark the release of his signature Nike shoe - the first European player to get one – Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam placed a hoop on the top of Mount Olympus, the highest point in Greece and the ancient home of the Greek Gods. 

Complete with a line on the backboard reading: "Fate can start you at the bottom. Dreams can take you to the top", it's hoped that the campaign will inspire kids around the world with the knowledge that no matter where you start, you can reach anywhere you can dream of.  

The stunt was captured in a black-and-white film helmed by Quentin van den Bossche (repped by RadicalMedia London) and produced by Yard.
