NBA World Furious Over Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Questionable Ejection

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected in the third quarter of Wednesday night’s win over the Pistons, earning his second technical foul of the game after an emphatic reaction to a dunk over Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart.

Antetokounmpo went coast-to-coast, slamming down an impressive dunk before briefly staring down Stewart and doing the “too small” celebration on his way back up the court.

The post-dunk gestures earned him the second technical foul call, which is grounds for an automatic ejection, and Antetokounmpo and NBA fans alike couldn’t believe the officiating on the play.

Here’s the impressive dunk by Antetokounmpo in transition, along with the celebration that earned him the technical.

Naturally, social media exploded, initially for the dunk, but the ire of the fans turned quickly to the over officiating of Antetokounmpo that sent him to the locker room.

Here are the best reactions from X (formerly Twitter) following Antetokounmpo’s questionable ejection in Milwaukee’s 120–118 victory.
