Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are going around their business as usual, despite not having their #2 guy, Khris Middleton, back yet. Sure, the 3x All-Star’s presence is missed by the team, but they’ve been working well as a unit and making up for it. It is all starting right at the top, with Giannis leading the way.

Over the last week, the Freak led the Bucks to a 3-1 record, winning him Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors.

Inside the NBA crew trolled Giannis Antetokounmpo for his Flop
Inside the NBA is one of the most entertaining basketball shows on network television. The combination of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith means a ton of knowledge laced with a lot of hoots.
One of the most famous segments of the show is Shaqtin’ A Fool. Taking the funniest plays from the week, the crew lets the audience vote and rank the same. This week, Giannis won the competition with his flop against Nikola Vucevic.
Seeing the same, the crew couldn’t hold back their laughter and said,
“Giannis Antetokounmpo With a Flop That Makes Soccer Players Proud!”
Sure, Giannis is a football fan, and the FIFA World Cup is raging, but that doesn’t mean he should emulate their moves on a basketball court.
Giannis is a huge PSG and Arsenal fan
