"69? I like that number": Giannis Antetokounmpo casually displays bawdy humor during media session
Giannis Antetokounmpo seemingly loves to keep things light when he's off the court. Be it his 'dad jokes' or sarcastic philosophical speeches. Not many can match his funny persona in the NBA. Antetokounmpo's humor isn't just limited to that, though.
The 'Greek Freak' isn't shy to pass a bawdy remark whenever he gets the chance. He took that shot during the Milwaukee Bucks' post-game interview session after their impressive 132-125 comeback win over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. While talking about the number of games left in the season, Antetokounmpo said:
"Come on, man. We got 69 more games. 69? I like that number. I like that number. 69, huh?"
Antetokounmpo hasn't hesitated to make these kinds of jokes with his wife around, either. During an Instagram Live session in 2018, Antetokounmpo hilariously embarrassed his wife with his raunchy humor. He once showed his fans an intimate gift his wife gave him. One fan pointed that out, reacting to the '69' joke.
"He can be a freak on the court and on the sheets," Giannis Antetokounmpo joked in the video.
