Author of 43 points against the Celtics, Giannis Antetokounmpo gives everything he has to help the Bucks get out of their bad series. But he does not forget his usual good humor. Like when he blew a wind Jaylen Brown who wanted to shake his hand.
At the start, there is an attack, the elbow forward, from Giannis on Brown. The Celtics winger finds himself on the ground, and the referees whistle for an offensive foul. During the defensive retreat, the two exchange a few words and the Greek asks him if everything is okay, and Brown extends his hand to Giannis. And the Bucks superstar removes his hand to pass it over his head. All with a big smile.
Giannis wants to have fun on the pitch
“Giannis is a kid” reacted Brown, who then refused the hand extended by Giannis. “Me, I just focus on helping my team win. And that's what we did tonight. »
For his part, Giannis assures that there was no desire to upset the Celtics winger. “In the heat of the moment, we always make jokes… It's something I also do to my children. I play. I am like that. I play basketball with joy and pleasure. »
The two All-Stars will cross paths again this season, and their duels will be as physical and intense as ever. “He's an incredible player and a big competitor, but I'll continue to be myself…At the end of the day, if he says I'm a kid, it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to have fun. And if the opportunity presents itself one day, I will do it again. »
