Irrespective of whether someone is a basketball fan or not, Giannis Antetokounmpo is a name that resonates with millions around the world. After all, he has two MVP titles, one NBA title, and numerous other accolades to his name. The Greek Freak, as he is affectionately known, is one of the most explosive players of the modern game. As a result, fans throng to see the Milwaukee Bucks superstar in action whenever he is playing. However, he was given a recent reality check during his latest game.

When the Milwaukee Bucks took on the Orlando Magic recently, thousands of fans filled up the arena to see some of their favorite basketball players take the court. Interestingly, one particular fan was not attending the game for Giannis or any other NBA star. Her hilarious choice caught the attention of Giannis himself as he posted the fan on his Instagram.

The Bucks faced the Magic on the 8th of March, 2023, and they breezed past the Magic 134-123. Incidentally, their game fell on International Women’s Day. Interestingly, a female fan brought out an interesting signboard during the game and gave a brutal reality check to Antetokounmpo on Women’s Day.

The sign read, “I’m only here for #Queen Mariah!!” In case you are not aware, Giannis’ wife is Mariah Riddlesprigger and it seems the fan was in the arena to watch her instead of her husband.
