Robert Horry, who once got kicked off the court himself, wants Antetokounmpo to be punished for his “Wrong” actions.

Antetokounmpo went 4 from 15 from the foul line. Following the loss, he decided to come back to the court and work on his technique. After taking seven free throws, the 76ers player Montrezl Harrell took the ball from Antetokounmpo. The Bucks superstar was clearly upset because of this.

However, he was determined to improve on his shooting. As a result, Antetokounmpo went back to the locker room and brought two balls with him. But this time things took an odd turn.

So Antetokounmpo decided to move the ladder, despite protests from the arena staff, which ended up in the ladder crashing to the floor.

As a result of this incident, Antetokounmpo faced a lot of criticism on the Internet. Later on, the 2021 NBA champion appeared before the media with an apology.
