New Lakers Big Man Winds Up On Wrong Side Of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Instagram

Now that's just disrespectful!

Your Los Angeles Lakers dropped their most recent preseason game against the new-look Milwaukee Bucks 108-97 in a contest that had plenty of highlights on both ends. To be fair, LA lost while sitting LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent, and Jarred Vanderbilt, all rotation players, while the Bucks had everyone available aside from Khris Middleton.

Damian Lillard showed off his new threads for the first time since Milwaukee traded for the superstar to pair with their already potent core. 

Part of that core is of course two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo who celebrated his team's victory with a disrespectful social media post from one of his highlights in the game. 

The Greek Freak holds a reputation as one of the best defensive players in the NBA, winning DPOY in the same 2020 season as his second MVP campaign. 

Christian Wood felt that prowess in full force after the Bucks big man stuffed the newest Laker at the rim. 

Jaxson Hayes got his own impressive block against Bobby Portis in the contest but it was Milwaukee who got the last laugh in the victory. 

Antetokounmpo dominated in his short stint on the court after he notched 16 points, eight rebounds and two blocks including his evisceration of Wood at the rim. 

The Greek Freak did all this damage in just 15 minutes of action as fans got their first glimpse of Antetokounmpo and Lillard as a duo. 

Lillard struggled a tad in his first showing in a new jersey after shooting just 3/10 from the field and 2/7 from three. 

On a positive note the Bucks' newest superstar got to the free throw line six times and stole the ball four times even with alleged concerns about his defense. 

It wasn't quite a clean game for the Central Division champions, but the first showing in what should be a wonderful season in Wisconsin is sure to scare opposing teams league-wide.
