Yes, we are as baffled as you are by Giannis Antetokounmpo. A character on and off the court. Today he showed up to his post-game presser, holding a Simpson’s plushie and talking about getting freaky on his birthday!

How often do we see personas that are simply too ridiculous? And whether or not you like his humor, Giannis definitely has a great personality.
Today, he was at his normal, 34-13-5 performance, with a steal and 2 blocks, nothing new. And he decided to entertain all of us at his post-game presser.
As he turns 28 tomorrow, he wishes to put his kids to bed early and get a little “dirty” when the lights are out. Talk about too much information!
Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘steals’ teammate’s $45 toy and talks about “getting freaky” on his birthday
Giannis Showed up with a Homer Simpson plushie at his post-game presser and for once we thought that would be the end of it. He also talked about how he stole it from Sandro Mamukelashvili.

Sandro got a hold of it from Universal Studios, where the exact plushie can be purchased for $45! But instead, he won the toy at a game and Giannis stole it for keeps. We reckon his kids, Liam and Maverick Shai will enjoy this one.
The story on this: Sandro Mamukelashvili won Homer at Universal on Sunday and brought it to the game tonight. But he left it behind in the locker room … and now Giannis is taking it home for his kids.

And while that itself is wholesome and mildly hilarious, a reporter asked him what plans he had for his birthday, and boy the answer could not have been more fun.
Giannis hilariously talks about what might happen on his birthday tomorrow.
“Maybe a birthday cake, a card, or watch…After I put my kids to bed, you never know what could happen. It might get a little bit freaky.” 🤣

Does the Greek Freak like to get freaky? Well, he does have two kids to attest to that fact. And from his response, the answer is a resounding yes. Giannis is horny, and we can tell! And so can the world after his interview.
Giannis’ Bucks are tinkering and finding their rhythm
While he may be freaky off the court, on it, he is just a monster. Just look at his numbers from the last 7 games.

36 PTS – 11 REB – 7 AST – 55% FG

Khris Middleton is back and healthy. So now the Bucks have to mesh him into their offense. And while the task won’t be easy, they have Antetokounmpo to lead them to wins as they look to find the right balance.
It looks as though the Milwaukee Bucks will be among the favorites this year. In a stacked Eastern Conference, however, they will be tested every step of the way.
