The entire NBA Playoffs have not been the best time for Giannis Antetokounmpo from the free-throw line.

However, it wasn’t only the analyst and the media people talking about Giannis and his free throws publicly. Even Chris Paul talked about how everyone, including Giannis, expects him to miss free throws.

Giannis Antetokounmpo took it personally and waited to fire back at Chris Paul

If there is one player who is known to take things personally, it’s His Airness Michael Jordan. There have been instances where players have been able to channel his spirit, but it doesn’t happen often. Giannis Antetokounmpo did the same, as he took the floor against the Suns today. Giannis was a man on a mission, who single-handedly ensure the Suns could not force a Game 7.

The Greek Freak even dealt with his most fatal flaw and overcame it. He went 17-19 from the free-throw line, something no one could have ever anticipated. During the final presser, Giannis talked about the same and took a shot at Chris Paul for his comments.
