Giannis Antetokounmpo has made it known through some social media posts that he is eager to bounce back from a disappointing campaign the past season.

The Greek Freak is raring to get back in action and help the Milwaukee Bucks regain lost glory after they got clobbered by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs last season.

It was one of the most stunning upsets in NBA history as the Bucks became just the sixth No. 1 seed not to reach the second round. With that sorry exit, it is understandable that Giannis is yearning for redemption.

Can’t wait to eat chicken feet

Aside from his eagerness to steer the Bucks back to relevance, there is something that Giannis also wants to tick off his bucket list, and it has nothing to do with basketball.

The two-time MVP showed his funny side when he went off about his love for chicken. In a recent interview in Beijing, Giannis was asked if there is something that he wants to try while he is in China’s Capital.

One of the interviewers then asked Antetokounmpo if he loves chicken feet. Without batting an eyelash, Giannis replied: “I love chicken feet. Hey man, hey! I love chicken feet.”

A five-year craving

Giannis then narrated that it was in 2018 when he tried munching on chicken feet in Beijing.

“For five years, I have been craving chicken feet,” said Giannis. “I love the texture! I love it!”

Antetokounmpo then asked the two hosts where he could get some chicken feet in Beijing. The bull-strong forward then drew heavy laughter from the two hosts when he made them make pinky swear that they should bring him chicken feet the next time he will be in Beijing.

Giannis shared the hilarious video clip on his social media accounts as if letting the world know his love for chicken feet. Antetokounmpo and his brothers had flown to China as part of a promotional tour.

It turned out that it was during the tour that Giannis showed that he is not only obsessed with winning but also with the delectable chicken feet.
