Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the world right now. The Greek Freak has the ability to change the outcome of the game single-handedly at times. One of the most recent examples of it was seen during the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup against the Washington Wizards.

Giannis put the Bucks on his back and dominated the game by scoring 55 points against the Wizards. The entire NBA world erupted and united in praising the 2-time NBA MVP. While Giannis Antetokounmpo is certainly a dangerous player on the court, there are times when he is simply hilarious.

Most of the jokes that he plays happen off the court, but sometimes Giannis fails to suppress his childish side even when he is on the court.


Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Hilarious Way To Let His Brother Check Into The Game

Giannis is living the dream of many by playing alongside his brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo on the same team in the NBA. While Giannis is a superstar in the league, Thanasis is still a role player. Evidently, the difference in the minutes that the two brothers play for the Bucks is a lot.

However, when a game is in control, head coach Mike Budenholzer gives some time to Thanasis. Something similar happened in a Bucks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game. Coach Budenholzer decided to check Thanasis in the game in exchange for Giannis. But in order to complete the move quickly, Giannis intentionally took the ball out of bounds.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer was understandably shocked after seeing this and just had his head in his hands for a couple of seconds. It was certainly hilarious to see this reaction from coach Bud. But let’s hope Giannis doesn’t make a habit of doing this and end up showing signs of nepotism within the franchise. At least, that’s what the fans were worried about after seeing this clip.
