Why Giannis Antetokounmpo snapped at reporter amid Bucks’ miserable start
NY Post
Giannis Antetokounmpo appeared fed up.
The Bucks superstar snapped at reporter Pat Pickens of the Associated Press after a 116-94 loss to the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Friday.
While in the locker room following the defeat, Antetokounmpo had been fielding questions in a media scrum.
During one of his answers, Antetokounmpo paused — interrupting his response in the process — and said, “If you don’t want to be here, you can leave. If you don’t want to be here, you can leave,” directed at an unseen person off-screen.
Now, we know what was said and the reason why.
Pickens joined Big 12 Sports Saturday on WISN 12 to detail what happened from his point of view, admitting that he subconsciously sighed while Antetokounmpo was speaking.
