The Milwaukee Bucks have created history with their recent NBA Championship victory. After the win, the Bucks and their squad have gone viral. Giannis Antetokounmpo and his men have been the talk of the town. The most recent interesting rumor comes from forward Bobby Portis.

The 26-year-old from Arkansas, USA, was crowned champion along with the men in green. Following the victory over the Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee went on a victory run. Portis, who was a key player off the bench, was seen holding the WWE title in one of the victory laps. The forward averaged over 11 points and 7 rebounds for his side in the regular season.

In a social media post, Lashley said “The WWE Championship looks good on you Bobby Portis,” in a cheeky manner. He also went on to indirectly challenge Portis to a match.
