After dropping 26 points and 13 rebounds on the Pacers, Giannis showed off some basketball cards, with images of Bobby Portis and Donte DiVincenzo to the media. He said these cards were part of his backup plan at the post-game presser.
“BP [Bobby Portis], he’s going to sign this. This is going to be worth a lot one day. And Donte [DiVincenzo]! I’m looking for Pat [Connaughton] and Grayson’s [Allen]. Yeah, if I ever go broke, I’m going to sell them. Just to have a backup plan. You know, your parents always told you to have a backup plan? This is my backup plan.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo cracks a “Boogie” joke
There was more good news for Milwaukee Bucks fans on Sunday. The Bucks are reportedly signing four-time All-Star center DeMarcus ‘Boogie’ Cousins to a one-year non-guaranteed deal.
Cousins could be a significant roster addition by the Milwaukee Bucks, given that their starting center Brook Lopez has played just one game this season. Lopez has been suffering from a back injury.

“How do you make a tissue dance?! You put a little “Boogie” in it!! My Dad jokes are back!!”

Cousins reacted to Giannis’ joke with two emojis, suggesting that he was excited to be heading to Milwaukee.
Meanwhile, Giannis is averaging 27.0 ppg, 11.8 rpg and 5.9 apg this season for the Bucks as they look to defend their NBA title. Milwaukee will host the Charlotte Hornets next on Wednesday (December 1) in an attempt to stretch their winning streak to eight games.
