Trivia[]

While all dubs of the movie on Disney+ are otherwise fully consistently proper lip-sync dubs, the various dubs of the movie all handle the dialogue heard in the epilogue part of the movie (which features archive footage of the real Antetokounmpos) quite differently however (although all dubs otherwise use subtitles for the on-screen text):
- The German, Japanese, Mandarin, Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish and Castilian Spanish dubs all properly dub all archived dialogue heard in the epilogue.
- The Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Korean and Slovak dubs voice over both the sports commentary and the real Antetokounmpos.
- The Polish and Turkish dubs properly dub the sports commentary, but voice over the real Antetokounmpos. The Polish dub also uses one single voice-over to read the archived dialogue of the real Antetokounmpos.
- The Polish, Czech and Slovak dubs uniquely use voice-over synchrony for the voiced-over archived dialogue of the real Antetokounmpos instead of lip-syncing (with the Slovak dub also uniquely applying this to the real archived commentary in the epilogue).
- The archived sports commentary is dubbed in the French dub, but the real Antetokounmpos are subtitled in French.
- All archived epilogue dialogue is fully subtitled in the Greek dub.
