After the recent game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers, where Giannis Antetokounmpo set a new franchise record, Giannis was seen visibly upset on the court despite winning the game. While he was exchanging words with members of the Pacers, Giannis’ brother Thanasis could be seen in the background being held back from joining the fray.

While it was good that Thanasis’ teammates held him back, Lou Williams felt like it was just fake toughness from Thanasis, as he could have joined in to defend his brother if he really wanted to.

Lou Williams is not buying the tough-guy act

In a recent episode of Run It Back, Lou Williams addressed the altercation after Wednesday’s match. As Giannis was exchanging words with Tyrese Haliburton, Giannis’ brother Thanasis was seen on the baseline being held back by Bucks teammates. Lou Williams did not like what he saw.

Williams said, “Stop it. If you really wanted to protect your brother and be a part of that, it’s not amount of money, its no teammate shoulder grab can stop you from going.“

According to Williams, there is no way Thanasis was held back by just one player. While Giannis Antetokounmpo was arguing with the Pacers by himself, Thanasis could have joined in to be by his brother’s side. But what Lou Williams did not see was that Thanasis was the one who joined Giannis while running through the Pacers’ tunnel to retrieve the game ball after the altercation on the court.

Giannis later revealed that he got the game ball from the coach, but he does not think that it was the one that they used in the match. Who do you think should have gotten the game ball?

Did Giannis Antetokounmpo deserve the game ball?

While it looks like this is not much of a deal, Lou Williams revealed that it is normal for a player to get the game ball after achieving certain milestones.
