Giannis Antetokounmpo has been unable to stay off the internet this summer. Last month, his friendly banter with wife Mariah left the hoop community in splits as the couple discussed if the Bucks star should start live streaming. While Giannis made a desperate plea to Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed to help him enter their world, the wifey reminded him of their four kids and the countless responsibilities that come with them.

Understanding the concern, The Greek Freak let go of the idea of starting his own streaming channel but fulfilled his wish by collaborating with IShowSpeed a few days later. And everyone thought that’s that. However, Giannis’ itch did not end there as he was back on Instagram Live today. It was right after Damian Lillard announced his return to Portland, so everyone thought the stream would be about his former teammate’s decision. But the real reason took everyone by surprise.

It was Mariah who initiated the IG live and put her husband in the spotlight in front of his 16.1 million followers. It had nothing to do with Lillard’s decision, but the couple’s struggles to catch a cockroach in their closet. Clearly, Giannis did not want to be seen by the world in this vulnerable moment and urged his wife to “please, get out of the live.” But Mariah, laughing uncontrollably, replied, “No, this will motivate you. After what you just put us through.”

“Babe, please help me. For real. Babe, the whole world is watching.” Giannis remarked, as over 26,000 people joined the stream. That’s when the two-time MVP realized that Mariah was using his phone, which only escalated his frustration. “I’m done with you. Mariah, after this, I want a divorce. I swear to God, I’m not playing with you.” The former champ stated, facing a major life decision. Of course, this was clearly a playful banter.

Sure enough, even the divorce threat did not work on Mariah, as she said, “Once we find the roach, I’ll get off of it. I promise. You have to kill it.” After minutes of hilarious back and forth, she finally handed the phone to Giannis, ending his frustration and putting a smile back on his face. “My goodness. See you guys.” The Bucks star remarked, ending the chaotic stream. And about addressing Lillard’s return to Portland, Giannis did that as well, just in a different way!

Giannis Antetokounmpo reacts after Damian Lillard announces his return to Portland

Ever since the Bucks shockingly waived-and-stretched Lillard’s $112.6 million salary, the hoop community had been wondering where he would go next. With teams now able to sign him at a much lower price, several potential suitors emerged. It was the perfect opportunity for Dame to join a title contender and pursue his first championship. Moreover, he had a lot of time to make a decision as he was already set to miss majority of next season recovering from an Achilles injury.

But instead of waiting it out, Lillard quickly decided that it was best for him to return home. Yes, following two underwhelming seasons in Milwaukee, Dame is returning to Portland for another run. Per Shams Charania, he finalized a three-year $42 million contract with the Blazers to re-join the team where he spent the first eleven years of his career.

Excited about the move, Lillard even announced it on Instagram. “RipCityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!” He wrote, and guess who gave his approval? Giannis, of course. Subtle but firm, The Greek Freak liked Dame’s post, happy that the nine-time All-Star is back where he belongs. While Lillard’s chances of winning a title in Portland are bleak, he can close out his career on his own terms, in a city where everyone loves him. Do you think Dame made the right call?
