Giannis Antentokounmpo’s sluggish free throws are made fun of the Hawks commentators.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

“Next free throw? 15 minutes.”Giannis Antetokounmpo, the top player for the Milwaukee Bucks, is among the best athletes in the world at his position. The 2021 NBA Finals MVP and two-time NBA MVP frequently flaunts his extraordinary abilities. Nevertheless, Antentokounmpo’s game might at times slow down more than Gary the Snail when he’s at the free-throw line.

Throughout his career, Antetokounmpo has accrued a fair share of 10-second violations. Additionally, earlier this year, during a Bucks-Nuggets game, Giannis was made fun of by Denver Nuggets commentators for his tardiness at the free-throw line. This last weekend, the pattern persisted. When the Milwaukee Bucks hosted the Atlanta Hawks in Georgia, the Hawks’ pundits didn’t hesitate to get in on the humor.

Antetokounmpo, with his Bucks losing 31–28, stepped up to the free throw line. Giannis took his time, of course, to do that. The Hawks broadcasters decided it was time to make a joke.Hawks TV analyst Bob Rathbun said, “If you brought a book to the game, you could probably read a couple of chapters waiting for Giannis at the line.” “When is the next free throw? 15 minutes later, after Giannis had sunk them, he continued.

Giannis won’t likely alter his behavior at the line, but it will be entertaining to watch if commentators keep making jokes about it. As usual, there’s a chance you’ll occasionally take things too far while using running gags. Having said that, Rathbun struck a humorous note with this one.
