[Saba Sports News] Giannis Antetokounmpo found himself in the crosshairs of NBC Sports Boston once again.
The Boston Celtics edged out the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night with a 111-105 victory. While Antetokounmpo delivered a solid 30-point, 11-rebound double-double, it was Jayson Tatum who stole the show with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists.
Friday also happened to be the seventh birthday of Tatum’s son, Deuce, a moment NBC Sports Boston highlighted during Tatum’s postgame press conference. But the network didn’t stop there, delivering a sharp jab at Antetokounmpo with a cheeky graphic that read, *“Put on a show for his sons’ birthday (Deuce and Giannis).”*
Antetokounmpo has become a key antagonist in Boston due to the heated rivalry between the Celtics and Bucks at the top of the Eastern Conference. His on-court battles, particularly with Celtics star Jaylen Brown, have added fuel to the fire—Friday’s game being no exception.
NBC Sports Boston has built a reputation for its pointed humor, often going viral for similar digs at opposing NBA stars, and this latest shot at Giannis is no exception.
