Giannis Scores 33 Pts During Game, ZERO Afterwards At Home

The Milwaukee Bucks beat the lowly Atlanta Hawks 122-117 Saturday night and Bucks star Giannis Antetokounpo scored 33 points to go with 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Wow. What a talent.

Now you might sit up and wonder how many women must be throwing themselves at such one of the young faces of the league. Giannis is the most likable NBA player by 100 miles. The dude is an absolute alien on the hardwood while being extremely candid and positive off the court and online. Sometimes pretty much as candid as you could get, like this stunt he pulled on Instagram Live on Valentine’s Day.

Now as excited as our incredibly athletic friend was with his gift, you can tell the public display of the present ruffled some feathers. Anyone that’s spent any time with a significant other knows that annoyed tone in the background of that video is just the tip of the iceberg. She probably thought it would be a funny inside joke and was NOT anticipating her Dad, Mom, and entire family to have to watch millions of people think about her doing nasty things with her boyfriend. The “you’re embarrassing yourself” is code for “that bell will not work for at least 6 months (barring a NBA Finals win)”.

Flash back to Saturday night after his dominating performance and win in front of the home crowd…

Oloi eímaste ekeí. That’s Greek for “We’ve all been there” Giannis. Most of the time it was after I ate 2 orders of Pad Thai and tweeted a couple videos of people getting bitten by trash pandas instead of dropping 33/12/7 in the NBA but honestly what’s the difference?

It was time for the half court heave. Not unlike the White Walkers unveiling the Ice Dragon, Giannis reached into his bedside drawer to see if his ace could get him out of the jam. It was time to smash the bell like Hector Salamanca.

Unfortunately, he was not in luck.

6’11” NBA All-Stars with 100 million dollar contracts, they’re just like us.

Flashback to happier times.
