Giannis Antetokounmpo had a rather forgettable outing in Philadelphia recently. The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Philadelphia 76ers and Antetokounmpo didn’t look like his usual self from the free-throw line. What transpired after the game has reached the devices of almost everyone in the world. While people debate about the situation, the Los Angeles Clippers decided to take a dig at the two-time MVP. This move by the Clippers has left NBA Twitter in shambles.
Giannis Antetokounmpo walked to the locker room to get two basketballs. As per reports, he did so because Philadelphia 76ers‘ center Montrezl Harrell had taken the ball away from him. By the time he got back, an arena employee had placed a ladder in front of the basket. When the employee refused to move the ladder, Antetokkounmpo decided to move it himself. Following this, the ladder fell. The LA Clippers’ twitter admin posted a video cheekily referring to this incident.
