Giannis Antetokounmpo is the cornerstone of the Milwaukee Bucks and has been with the franchise since entering the NBA in 2013. The 6-foot-11 forward has been a vital tool for the Cream City ever since. Even in their latest matchup, Antetokounmpo was a last-minute addition to the squad as he was suffering a shoulder injury. However, he did not want to miss the crucial matchup against the Kings which went to overtime and ended in the favour of the Bucks. All thanks to Damian Lillard’s buzzer-beating shot, which turned the tide for the Bucks and ended the game with the score of 143-142.

After the match in the post-match interview, the former NBA champion made a hilarious comment about the missing piece in the Bucks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s OCD kicks in mid-interview

In the post-match interview, the Greek Freak was asked about his thoughts on the win against the Kings to which he said, “I just wanna play games.” However, in the middle of his answer, he noticed something was wrong with his locker room carpet and said, “Somebody ruined our carpet,” and claimed that it needed to be fixed. He continued talking about the carpet situation and urged that, “We gotta do a better job now,” and said, “It’s my OCD kicking in.”

He waited for the carpet’s missing piece to be found and fixed and thanked Mr. Bary who fixed the carpet. However, after that, he made a hilarious comment saying, “That was the piece we’ve been missing, now everything is going to go well,” sarcastically calling out the reporters and their standard questions during interviews.
