“I almost pooped”: Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously trolls himself on Instagram after dropping 40 points in a Bucks win against the Pacers

Giannis Antetokounmpo says that he almost pooped during the Milwaukee Bucks’ win over the Indiana Pacers last night. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks have perhaps the most stagnant team out East in terms of their performance this season compared to their last. The Jrue Holiday acquisition helped the Bucks tremendously on the defensive end of the floor as he’s proven that he can legitimately guard everyone from Kyrie Irving to Kevin Durant; something Eric Bledsoe could not effectively do. 

Giannis has been sensational, as expected, as he’s having an under-the-radar MVP campaign this 2020-21 NBA season. He’s likely to finish top 5 in MVP voting but most probably will not hoist for a 3rd time in a row due to a combination of voter fatigue and postseason flameouts.

Nevertheless, the Bucks are just as good, if not slightly better than they have been in previous seasons, and it’s proven by their victories over powerhouse such as the Brooklyn Nets and Giannis’s 40 point outing against the Pacers last night. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo took to Instagram last night to say that he almost pooped during the Pacers game last night. 

Giannis has almost always had a knack for humor. Everything from on-court ‘shenanigans’ to his hilarious postgame availabilities, the reigning MVP knows how to give the fans and media a chuckle. He didn’t disappoint following the victory over the Indiana Pacers last night as posted a picture of himself flexing quite hard during the game. Under this, he captioned it, “I almost pooped.”

Fans were quick to bring up references to Paul Pierce and Lamar Jackson in the comments, hinting towards the Greek Freak wanting to exit the game to relieve himself. Fortunately for Bucks fans, Giannis stayed in the game and dripped a casual 40 points on the Pacers. 

With the Bucks still a game back from the 2nd seed and having won the season series over the Brooklyn Nets, Giannis and co have a legitimate chance of securing homecourt advantage in the second round of the Playoffs.
