Giannis Antetokounmpo probably played his best game of the season, scoring 43 points and 13 rebounds, five assists and two blocks with 1 of 2 three-pointers and 18 of 29 from the field. But the Greek, try as he might, could not lead his team to victory against the Celtics.
But among all the plays that the center starred in at the Fiserv Forum, there is one that has gone viral on social networks. It is the mockery he makes to Jaylen Brown at a given moment of the game.
In a play with a personal foul in attack by the Greek on the Celtics player, both players crossed paths. Giannis feigned to shake hands with the ‘Celtic’, to which Brown responded with the same action, but Antetokounmpo took it away and made the gesture of combing his hair, with a smile on his lips.
Brown did not seem to take the play very well and shortly afterwards he ‘took revenge’ with an air push that resulted in a flagrant foul type 1 of the Boston player.
