Giannis Antetokounmpo shares very rare childhood photo with cryptic message
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo shared an old picture of himself on Instagram stories with a mysterious message. The Greek star is getting ready to start a new NBA season, as he tries to win another championship after reaching the top of the league in 2021.
Antetokounmpo showed a picture of himself with his fists closed and smiling. He added a message that could resonate with the fans and his doubters:
"If nobody got me I GOT ME!!" he captioned the post.
Is unclear if he was sending a message to a specific person or if it was a general message to the people who root against him. Giannis Antetokounmpo has tried to win another Larry O'Brien trophy in the last three seasons, losing to the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2022 playoffs, the Miami Heat in the first round of 2023 and the Indiana Pacers in the first round in 2024.
After landing Damian Lillard and replacing Adrian Griffin with Doc Rivers, the Bucks were considered a legit championship candidate, but eventually fell short to the surprising Pacers, who ended up going all the way to the Eastern Conference finals.
Milwaukee is now planning to challenge for another championship, but there are doubts about the team's ability to win with Doc Rivers at the helm.
Giannis Antetokounmpo took a shot at Jack Harlow, Boston Celtics in recent video
During a conversation with Complex Sports on Tuesday, the Greek Freak played "Nice or Not Nice." Antetokounmpo watched clips of non-professionals playing basketball and he had to say "nice" if he considered a player good, or "not nice" if he wasn't a fan of the player's skills.
When watching a clip of Jack Harlow, a Boston Celtics fan, Antetokounmpo took some jabs at the rapper and his team.
“This is Lil Durk, I like his music.... Jack Harlow’s guarding him, he [Harlow] cannot play because his defense is horrible and he supports the Boston Celtics, too. Look, look, he got crossed. In your face, Jack Harlow.”
After clashing several times in the NBA playoffs, Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks and the Boston Celtics have developed a bit of a rivalry. Both teams are expected to compete in the Eastern conference this season, while the renewed New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will try to ruin the plans.
Antetokounmpo also talked about Drake and J Cole's game, saying nice things about them.
