Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks had their 16-game winning streak snapped by the Philadelphia 76ers in a comeback win on Saturday night.
The Bucks and the Sixers can expect to potentially meet in the playoffs, and while it’s not as intense as others, do have a competitive rivalry with one another. So a young Sixers fan didn’t want to take a risk and tricked Giannis Antetokounmpo into giving her an autograph despite her loyalties.

This was a hilarious trick from the young girl and one that Giannis Antetokounmpo would surely appreciate, given his sense of humor. Maybe not right after losing against the Sixers, but the ingenuity has to be applauded.
Giannis is not the sort of person to deny someone an autograph for not being in his colors, but the ploy possibly did increase her chances of getting it. And in any case, people loved the move, with the video going viral on social media.
NBA Fans Reeacted Hilariously To The Young Fan Tricking Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo is usually the person making NBA fans laugh with his antics, but this time he was at the receiving end of a funny situation. NBA fans on Reddit had a lot of reactions to the video, with most of them being quite hilarious.
One fan joked about how the girl is a mastermind in grabbing autographs: “Little did they know, that girl had 28 other jerseys underneath and her next victim was whoever she was pointing to.”
A Sixers fan admitted she didn’t need to do it though, citing how Giannis Antetokounmpo is as a person, “Lol, idk, feel like Giannis would have given the autograph to two kids regardless of the jerseys.”
And for those making fun of the young fan for getting an opposing star’s autograph, this one fan supported the move: “I mean if I could go to an NBA game and get a chance to get an autograph from a superstar player, I would too even it’s from an opposing team.”
Some couldn’t resist taking a dig at the Sixers either, which was summed up by this one comment: “Embiid will get the karma for these kids by never winning a ring in Philly.”
This was just a young fan indulging in some harmless fun and getting an autograph from arguably the best basketball player in the world. With a lot of serious conversation going on around the NBA at the moment, this is a fun and wholesome moment for fans to enjoy.
