As NBA superstars go, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has always come across as extremely down to earth. Antetokounmpo, who was born and raised in Greece, comes from humble beginnings and was a relatively late bloomer in the basketball world.

But not everyone is convinced. A number of NBA fans are convinced that the Oreo and
We haven’t seen much in the way of Giannis lashing out or doing something unbecoming in the past. That is, until Friday night. Antetokounmpo had a rough night in the Bucks’ 110-102 loss to the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers. He notched 25 points and 14 rebounds, but shot just 4-of-15 from the foul line.
After the game, Antetokounmpo came back out to the court to work on his free throw shooting. The 76ers arena workers, however, were already working on checking the rims and breaking down the hoops for the night.

Antetokounmpo began shooting free throws when Philadelphia 76ers big man Montrezl Harrell came back out to work out as well. It’s typical to see home team players working out after the game. Harrell says he asked Antetokounmpo to move. But after the star refused, the two got in a confrontation.

Antetokounmpo then went to the other end of the court. But arena workers had already been working on that basket. That seemed to upset to Bucks superstar, who shoved the ladder aside until it fell, nearly striking arena staff.

Antetokounmpo has yet to offer his side of the incident. But regardless of what he says, it’s not a great look.
