Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian applauds NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo's ingenious approach to securing 4th triple-double of the seasonΒ
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian was in awe of Giannis Antetokounmpo's creativity as he secured his fourth triple-double of the season against the Washington Wizards.
With only 10 seconds remaining on the clock, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo needed one rebound to complete his triple-double.
The two-time NBA MVP dribbled to the basket, casually tossed the ball on the board and caught it before the final buzzer sounded. He ended the game with a tally of 23 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds as the Bucks defeated the Washington Wizards 117-111.
Alexis Ohanian reposted a clip of the incident to his Instagram story and expressed his appreciation for Antetokounmpo's creativity.
"My guy," Ohanian wrote on Instagram.
Alexis Ohanian previously voiced his admiration for Giannis Antetokounmpo when the Greek star led his team to a win against the Dallas Mavericks earlier in the season.
