Milwaukee Bucks

During the All-Star festivities, NBA players show their lighter side as they would usually be seen goofing around, setting their stiff competition aside even for just a couple of days.

Even teammates go at it, similar to what happened in the recent NBA Media Day when Milwaukee Bucks reserve Sandro Mamukelashvili got a ribbing from Jrue Holiday.

The most annoying teammate

During an interview, a reporter asked Holiday if Joe Ingles is the most annoying member of the Bucks.

Holiday paused for a second and looked at Thanasis Antetokounmpo, who was sitting beside him, before calling Mamukelashvili, who at the time was hanging out with other people in the room.

As Mamukelashvili went up the mini podium, Holiday addressed the reporter’s question and said: “No, Joe Ingles is not, but this guy is.”

Holiday’s answer drew laughter, but Mamukelashvili just shrugged his teammate’s ribbing.

“My brother right here, I appreciate you, man,” Sandro told Jrue.

All love

In a separate interview, Sandro admitted that he had tried to get under Jrue’s skin.

Holiday is known for his cool demeanor; he stays calm even when the game is at its most intense moment. So, it is unsurprising that Sandro has yet to succeed in his numerous attempts to pique Holiday.

“It’s fun at the end of the day, you know; I love Jrue. He’s like my best friend. And I try to be as annoying as possible because I feel like he’s not annoyed as much as I want him to be annoyed,” the 6-foot-10 Georgian big man said.

While he loves to tease Jrue, Mamukelashvili clarified that it is all part of two good teammates showing brotherly love.

“You know, it’s all love. So I just go around, always play around with him. So shoutout to Jrue for shouting me out. I appreciate it,” Sandro said.
