3 Min Read

Giannis Antetokounmpo unleashed the anger of the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night when he used a very curious and provoking celebration. It was a duel between two of the three best teams in the Eastern Conference, so you know this was a very electrifying match to see.

The game was a really close one and it needed overtime to define the winner. When that time arrived, Giannis took over and led his team to the win. He went on a 7-0 run and knew that they were about to win, which prompted him to sit on the court as a celebration. That obviously didn’t sit well with the Sixers and Dwight Howard revealed he wanted to go full WWE and stun the Greek Freak after seeing his celebration.

“I wanted to go and Stone Cold Stunner him, but I already had one tech,” Howard said after the game, via ESPN. “He had a hell of a game. I don’t want to talk trash or say anything negative, but we’ll see him again.”

Giannis also reflected on that moment, revealing he was just trying to ‘have fun’ and nothing else. He knows the Sixers are the best team in the East and a victory over them meant a lot for the Bucks. He didn’t miss his chance to taunt his rivals and now Philly is ready to take revenge on the back-to-back MVP.

“That’s what I wanted to do at that time. I haven’t seen it. As I said, I was just trying to have fun, trying to enjoy the moment. At the end of the day, win or lose you can’t take this moment back. At that time, the moment was in our favor and I tried to enjoy as much as I can,” the Bucks star shared.

Now the Sixers are tied with the Brooklyn Nets at the 1st position of the East (28-13) and the Bucks got closer to them, with only 1.5 games separating them. The fight for the top spot in the conference is hottest than ever and everybody is taking the opportunities they have to succeed in a very competitive season.
