Giannis Antetokounmpo was in his usual form on Friday night as he powered the Milwaukee Bucks to a 125-119 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The win boosted their record to 47-34 and elevated them to the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Throughout the game, Giannis also brought a different kind of energy to the court. In leaked on-court audio, Antetokounmpo can be heard exchanging words with Pistons guard Cade Cunningham.
“N**, wtf are you talking about?” Giannis reportedly said. It left Cade visibly surprised as he responded, “I didn’t know he talked like that.”
Later in the game, Giannis directed his focus toward Malik Beasley. After blocking his former teammate in a three-point attempt, Giannis mocked Beasley with his signature shimmy celebration and some harsh words.
