Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Shocking Comment After Bucks-Celtics Game
Giannis Antetokounmpo met with the media after the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Boston Celtics.
On Wednesday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the Celtics in Boston.
The Bucks lost the game by a score of 119-116, and seven players on the Celtics scored in double-digits.
Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo had 21 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes of playing time for the Bucks.
After the game, Antetokounmpo met with the media and was asked if he has been able to watch 2023 first-overall pick Victor Wembanyama this season.
Antetokounmpo gave a surprising answer: “I don’t watch basketball. No, I never watch basketball.
The only time I watch basketball is when I sit on the bench and watch the game. I don’t watch highlights, I don’t watch games, I just play basketball, to be honest with you.”
