The Milwaukee Bucks put up a dominating performance to restrict the New Orleans Pelicans to a  141-117 win. Amid his clinical performance to lead the team’s offense, Giannis Antetokounmpo pulled out his child inside him. While the Pelicans were struggling to get their free throws right, the Greek Freak pulled out his phone for a chicken dinner.

With less than 3 minutes left on the clock, the Pelicans’ Naji Marshall reached the free-throw line. The 26-year-old missed both his FTs and during that time, Giannis was making plans for his dinner. The former MVP reached the courtside and flipped his phone out to scan the QR code for free wings. While he was bringing out the child in him, the fans in the arena went along with a rousing cheer.

Following that, the Bucks went on to comfortably seal the game. Giannis, Damian Lillard, and Brook Lopez put in a collective effort of 80 points. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Pelicans Brandon Ingram didn’t have much of a support to add up to his 26 points. Notably, Zion Williamson pitched in 23 points with 2 assists, but it didn’t make much of a difference.

The Bucks proved to be unstoppable despite a mid-season change of coach. The team surprised the NBA by firing Adrian Griffin, despite holding the #2 rank in the league. Now, the management has officially hired Doc Rivers as the coach and the team doesn’t seem to hold back with their dominance.

Currently, the Bucks have a 32-14 record and would look to finish the regular season in a similar fashion. In the previous season, the Bucks unfortunately exited the playoff in round one despite being the top-seeding team in the East. The team would look to turn things around in this season.

Leaving the serious balling stuff aside, let’s check back into Greek Freak’s humorous side for a bit.

And it’s not just the chicken wings that keep him hooked. Even the chicken feet keep the Bucks star on his feet. On his recent visit to China, Antetokounmpo revealed what he wishes to eat. He said, “I love chicken feet. Hey man, hey! I love chicken feet… For five years, I have been craving chicken feet.”
