Giannis hilariously fanboys over Steph at All-Star weekend

Share

Giannis Antetokounmpo has a larger trophy case than most.

The "Greek Freak" is a two-time NBA MVP, six-time All-NBA selection, six-time All-Star and a member of the NBA's 75th anniversary team. His Milwaukee Bucks are the defending league champions.

Still, though, Antetokounmpo couldn’t hide his fandom of Warriors superstar Steph Curry on Saturday night.

Antetokounmpo was warming up next to Curry in preparation for the NBA All-Star Skills Challenge, which he competed in alongside two of his brothers, Thanasis and Alex. After Curry took a 3-point shot, he motioned to Antetokounmpo to take the next attempt from the corner.

Giannis, well known for his great sense of humor, had some fun with the moment.

“You saw that? You saw that? You saw that, though?” Giannis said. “Steph told me to come over here, shoot the shot. Oh my God!”

Antetokounmpo also took offense to Cleveland Cavaliers fans booing Curry at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. 

“They’re booing him?” he questioned.
