Giannis Antetokounmpo took a shot at the NBA referees after demolishing the Chicago Bulls in his most recent game. The Milwaukee Bucks star sneered at the attitude shift of the referees in the NBA lately and trolled them via social media. Giannis Antetokounmpo bucketed 32 points to earn a victory for his team in the high-voltage matchup.

While he won the match after it went into overtime, his post-match antics saw him making fun of the officials guarding the court for foul play.

Giannis Antetokounmpo disses referees and unveils nifty trick

Giannis Antetokounmpo took to X and posted a rather furious image of himself from the Bucks versus Bulls game. The Greek Freak wrote, “Mean mug, but look at the camera #NoTechs.” His tweet also carried two laughing emojis, as he took a jibe at the fragile mindset of referees today.

While referees already blow their whistles multiple times in a heavy-contact sport like basketball, technical fouls have also become commonplace in the NBA. Antetokounmpo made fun of just that and showcased how he evaded the whistle with his nifty trick. With the Greek Freak already having an ejection to his name this season under the new “taunting” technical foul rules, he ensured he avoided such a fate today.

Antetokounmpo wastes 41-point showdown of DeMar DeRozan

DeMar DeRozan put his heart into his game against the Milwaukee Bucks as he scored an astonishing 41 points. He passed the ball around to his teammates as well and recorded a double-double with 11 assists. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo ensured that his side took the win with a double-double of his own. 

The Greek Freak grabbed 12 rebounds apart from his 32-point effort to keep DeRozan and the Bulls at bay. While the scoring for Chicago was mostly dependent on DeRozan and Coby White, who scored 33 points, the Bucks worked as a well-oiled unit. Several Milwaukee players reached double figures in points to help Giannis Antetokounmpo lead them to the win.

Even AJ Green, who is in his sophomore NBA year, added 12 points and three assists in just 14 minutes of playtime. This enabled the Bucks to record 34 assists over Chicago’s 25 and a field goal percentage of 51.2 percent over Chicago’s 41.2 percent. Thus, while the Bulls had the best player on the court, the best team walked away with the win.
