New Angle Highlights Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Dirty Play Against Jayson Tatum

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been having a rough few weeks.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been terrible, and he has been lashing out as a result.

Antetokounmpo has snapped at his teammates and Doc Rivers, and the nonstop stress seems to be impacting him when he’s playing now.

Case in point: this extremely dirty play he pulled against Jayson Tatum during a game against the Boston Celtics.

But the alternate angle of it is particularly damning:

Giannis back at it again. If you can’t beat them, injure them.

Giannis did the same thing to Kyrie Irving. Let’s see if NBA media will decide to cover his dirty play this time.

Antetokounmpo can be excused for being upset about how bad Milwaukee is right now. It’s never nice having your name linked to trade conversations.

But none of that is an excuse for the type of play he pulled this week.

Antetokounmpo needs to get his head right. Because if he doesn’t, he could end up doing irreparable damage to his brand.
