Video: Jack Black's band dedicates a song to Giannis Antetokounmpo, showing love and respect for the former MVP
Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA's biggest stars. Recently, a popular rock duo decided to pay tribute to the two-time NBA MVP at a concert.
Tenacious D, led by famous actor Jack Black, played an impromptu song about the NBA superstar during a recent live performance in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In a video posted on Twitter, Jack Black talked about being a die-hard LA Lakers fan. However, there is one player that has always captured his attention. Black said the band is in awe of how Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo performs on the court.

Out of nowhere, the 'Kung Fu Panda star' started chanting 'Antetokounmpo' as the band followed along. He continued to chant Giannis' name to the tune of the drums and ended the song with a quick "We love you!". The six-time All-Star has yet to publicly respond to the improvised song.
Tenecious D is currently on tour. The band will be in Louisville, Kentucky from September 22-25. They will end the calendar year by performing at 'The Theater at Virgin Hotels' in Las Vegas from December 30-31.
The Milwaukee Bucks haven't done anything remarkable to help Giannis Antetokounmpo for the upcoming season
The Milwaukee Bucks made a few roster adjustments during the offseason. But unlike other contending teams, they didn't acquire anyone remarkable. The only notable addition is Joe Ingles. The 34-year-old Australian forward was added to the mix after signing a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Bucks on July 6.
BREAKING NEWS:
Sources very close to free agent @Joeingles7 can confirm that he has agreed to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
CEO of the house, Renae Ingles, is thrilled for Joe and their family.
Joe himself, is said to be very bucking happy.

Free agent F Bobby Portis is returning to the Milwaukee Bucks on a 4-year, $49M contract, his agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN.
The Bucks also re-signed fan-favorite Bobby Portis to a long-term deal. Portis signed a lucrative four-year, $48.5 million contract with Milwaukee on June 29. In two seasons with the Bucks, Portis has averaged 13.1 points and 8.1 rebounds. He also shot 50% from the field, including 42% from behind the arc.
The front office still hasn't filled the void left by P.J. Tucker's departure from the team following their 2021 title run. His versality on defense and ability to knock down corner threes at a moment's notice has been missed. The Bucks organization tried to address this by adding Grayson Allen to the fold last offseason, but he didn't impact the game in the same way.
If the Bucks want to win another NBA title, they will have to surround Giannis Antetokounmpo with more talent.
The Bucks kick off their 2022-23 season against the Philadelphia 76ers on October 20.
