Antetokounmpo faces his own fans and ends up crying after being booed
This is something new for me… But I like it. I love it
In a very tense game, Antetokounmpo responded to the boos from his Fiserv Forum crowd and showed the thumbs down, as he has done all season when booed away from home.
“I’ve never been a part of that. It’s something new to me. It doesn’t change. It’s the same. It doesn’t matter. I overcome adversity. I overcome adversity when people don’t believe in me. It doesn’t matter if I play away, at home, at family dinner or in training camp with my teammates. It really doesn’t matter. So yeah, I’ve never been a part of something like that, so it was something new to me. But I like it. I love it,” Antetokounmpo said after the game.
Antetokounmpo finished the game with 25 points (9 of 13 from the field and 7 of 14 from the free throw line), 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and… 7 turnovers! in 31 minutes.
