The video showcased Antetokounmpo getting increasingly annoyed with the Wells Fargo staff. Giannis moved a ladder that was set up next to the rim. The staff moved it back ever so slightly back to its original position. The two-time NBA MVP then seemingly argued with the man in charge. He then pushed the ladder away with force, causing it to fall to the ground.
The visuals stunned fans online. Many mocked the six-time All-Star for his actions.
Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

He don’t own the court. This is after the game and these workers are trying to finish their job for the night. Hell, it’s not even in Milwaukee. If he wanna practice, he can find an open gym.

Giannis coolly went back and positioned himself to shoot the ball amidst passive onlookers. Nobody seemed to say a word after to aggravate the player anymore.
Before this incident, Giannis Antetokounmpo was known for his humility. The more powerful and influential he got, Giannis seemed to always remain humble. This made him extremely likable in the NBA world.
How did Giannis Antetokounmpo build a humble image?
In one viral video, Antetokounmpo admitted that God keeps him humble. He said he was aware that he could not have everything in life. He said that God gave him the ability to dominate everywhere else, but to shoot threes.

He also proclaimed that Stephen Curry was the current best player in the league. Other players could have had a slight moment of vanity. They could have declared themselves to be the best. And if they had Antetokounmpo’s stats, it would be highly possible. But the Milwaukee Bucks star showed a different trait.
