Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks had themselves a second half and overtime. After a very tough first half, Milwaukee came through with a great second half. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 points and 15 rebounds. The triple-double streak is over. But the Greek Freak made headlines after he crosses Dwight Howard on a stepback then sat down on the court. Philadelphia’s small fan base in the arena booed him and the fans online haven’t been happy. Antetokounmpo saying he owned the Sixers’ court last night might be my favorite thing he’s ever done.

Giannis said after the game that he was ‘just having fun and not trying to offend anyone.’ I said this on the podcast today, but it bears repeating, Giannis gives off Brett Favre vibes. In the sense that he is just a kid out of there and how can anyone hate what he’s doing on the basketball court. Antetokounmpo unlocked the fun part of basketball over the past few months. It is great to see him not take himself too seriously. Yes, the Sixers will remember this moment next time around, but Antetokounmpo will be ready for them. This definitely adds a little more juice to the Bucks-Sixers rivalry. They’ll meet on 4/22. Hopefully, Joel Embiid is back in the mix.
