Thanasis Antetokounmpo Stuns NBA Fans With Flashy Shammgod Move Out of Nowhere

In this story:
The Milwaukee Bucks blew the doors off the Charlotte Hornets 120–84 at Fiserv Forum on Friday night, which allowed for some late-game minutes for several of the team’s reserves.
One the bench players for the Bucks that earned some playing time was Thanasis Antetokounmpo, who is best known for being the brother of star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
However, Thanasis made the most of his minutes in mop-up duty by pulling off the patented “Shammgod” move that led to an easy layup.

As anticipated, Milwaukee’s bench went absolutely nuts. Giannis jumped to his feet and sprinted up the sideline in support of his brother, as Thanasis flashed a look of excitement as he ran back up the floor on defense.
Thanasis is used sparingly for Milwaukee and is not typically in the rotation. But Friday night’s highlight play by the Bucks wing showcased just how good NBA players are, even if they aren’t playing regularly.
Here are some of the best reactions from Thanasis’s highlight play:
Thanasis tired of the disrespect he seen the noise on Twitter about why he still on the roster lmaoo https://t.co/RV123pjNIn
