What is Gio Wise’s net worth? What is Gio Wise’s real name?
Introduction
American TikTok sensation, professional basketball player, influencer, and entrepreneur; all these feats belong to only one person, a certain – Gio Wise.
Most popular for sharing basketball content, stunts, one on one challenges, and what he has termed his “Road to the Gleague,” Gio has earned a lot of love from young basketball fans.
The self-proclaimed basketball influencer has scooped up sponsorships from big-name brands like American Eagle, been sent Nike merchandise from Duke University, and faced off against fellow influencers like K Showtime and NCAA baller Cam Wilder.
For someone who has just as many critics as he has fans, it’s hard to get the real scoop on this young baller—but here’s what we know so far.
The Origin Story
Giovanni “Gio” Wise was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on March 5, 2001.
His mother is of Filipino descent, and his father is American, and Gio and his siblings were raised in Phoenix.
Gio attended PHH Prep National High School in South Phoenix, a local school known for its aggressive recruiting of basketball players.
He graduated from PHH Prep in 2019, and was not being actively recruited for college basketball at the time.
In 2020, Gio Wise took to his social media channels—namely TikTok and YouTube—to share that he had received some offers to play Division 1 college basketball.
D1 Prospect or Street Baller?
According to Wise, the main offer on the table was from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
Duke has one of the strongest men’s basketball teams in the US at the college level, with four NCAA championship wins under its belt, and a former roster that includes NBA icons Kyrie Irving, Grant Hill, and JJ Reddick.
While the Blue Devils are a legend in the NCAA league, eagle-eyed Gio Wise fans noticed that he didn’t appear in their 2020 Offers list—or their Prospects list.
In April of 2021, Wise again claimed to have received a D1 offer and committed to a D1 school—although he didn’t say which one.
Gio posted a video to his TikTok channel thanking Duke for a pair of “custom shoes” and a Nike branded jacket in September of 2021, although he didn’t confirm in the video if the free merchandise was part of an offer by the Blue Devils.
By late 2022, he still did not appear on any Division 1 or Division 2 college basketball rosters.
