When Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks made the NBA Finals last year, the city went nuts. It was a long time since a major sports team from Milwaukee was on such a grand stage, and it’s safe to say they celebrated a little extra. In fact, legendary Hollywood actor George Clooney even tried to get the Bucks fans an extra holiday from work.

The Bucks hadn’t been in the NBA Finals since 1974, and Giannis and crew made it to the grand stage. They went through the Heat, the Nets, and the Hawks to reach the coveted stage. The road wasn’t easy, as they were pushed in each series.

Clooney, who has been a Bucks fan for a long time, wanted to do something for the fans.

George Clooney wrote a letter so that Bucks fans can get a holiday after Giannis Antetokounmpo and crew made the Finals

Clooney’s tequila company Casamigos was one of the partners for the Bucks. So when the Bucks made the Finals, Clooney wrote a letter on his behalf to the fans. The letter started with, “It’s me, George Clooney! I just wanted to give a heads up that (insert name here) will need to be excused from the entire day of work on Monday.”

He stated the reason was the Bucks reached the Finals and the fans would have been ecstatic. So they might have had a few extra drinks to celebrate. Therefore, he wanted owners to understand that the fans need a day off.
