Giannis Antetokounmpo had an incredible 55-point game against the Washington Wizards, bringing the Milwaukee Bucks back to winning ways. The Greek Freak isn’t slowing down, and whenever he sets foot on the court, rivals know what’s coming to them.
After posting a 55-point game against the Wizards, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar was the man of the hour, making 20 shots in his career-night effort. Following the game, something strange occurred, as many remembered Giannis’ missed dunk with less than 3 minutes on the clock as the best play he made during the game.
Antetokounmpo also talked about it, even joking about the decrease his jumping suffered. He also joked about his girlfriend, Mariah Riddlesprigger, trolling him for not jumping as high as the younger players in the league.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Girlfriend Has Become His Biggest Critic
Following the match, Antetokounmpo reflected on that play, making the big revelation about his girlfriend and the way he’s been seen in his house for a while now.
“I got too excited,” he said, via Yahoo Sports. “Got my significant other (Mariah Riddlesprigger), she’s telling me they don’t post you on what’s this called, house of highlight, anymore, because you don’t dunk the ball. You don’t get as high as the young fellas. I said, yeah it’s not the same, I’ve been here for a decade now. The legs are gone. I don’t have legs to get that high.”
“But today I tried to get high. But I had a windmill so I hope that satisfied her. But I really wanted to finish that dunk. I think I got excited and I went too high than what I usually jump. Usually I don’t jump, I just stretch my hands to get there, but that one I actually took off and I got excited and I missed. If I could turn the time back, I hope I could have made that dunk.”

Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger have been together for a minute now, having two kids together and being one of the best couples in the NBA. A couple of months ago, Giannis was seen dancing to a song during his girlfriend’s birthday party, and way before that, she called him out for not changing their kid’s diaper.
These two have a lovely relationship, and we’re sure Mariah only means good when she tells Giannis what he must improve in his game. The Greek Freak is obsessed with getting better, and he definitely has to pay attention to what his girlfriend says.
