It is not an unwise decision to bank on Giannis Antetokounmpo, considering his promising performances in recent years. Therefore, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian rooted for Giannis during the Christmas day match-up between the table-toppers of the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics. He had taken to Twitter to share his excitement and predictions as the two teams, led by superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jayson Tatum respectively, locked horns in an exciting match-up . Unfortunately, Ohanian was left with disappointment in front of the NBA Twitter after the match concluded.

The Bucks and the Celtics currently have impressive records in the Eastern Conference with (22-11) and (24-10) respectively. While Giannis stands as the poster boy for the Bucks, the Celtics have exciting names too, like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in their squad.
