Giannis Antetokounmpo played like he did not miss a beat as he lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a much needed win over the Chicago Bulls. The Bucks, currently outside of the Top 10 in the Eastern Conference, missed his services for eight games after suffering from a calf injury on December 3 in win over the Detroit Pistons.
The Greek Freak played just under 25 minutes made the most out of it by scoring 29 points, eight rebounds, and one assist. He went 10 out of 15 on the field for 66.7 percent and shot 8 out of 10 from the free throw line.
He must have missed playing because at the end of the game, when it is all over already, he squeezed in a windmill dunk, leaving a bunch of Bulls players mad for the ‘unnecessary’ field goal.

Even the Bucks announcer wrapped up his game by prematurely saying that he will finish with 27 points in the win. The Bulls’ bench was visibly astounded by Antetokounmpo’s last act.

Nikola Vucevic was the first to talk to the Bucks superstar and the benches was cleared soon after although Giannis stayed out of the confrontation.
Giannis Antetokounmpo disrespected the Bulls?
Running out the clock when the opponent has no more chance of getting back is an unspoken rule in the NBA. Violating this could lead to on court confrontations and animosity between the two teams.
Devin Booker and the New Orleans Pelicans had that moment the other day. In 2022, Zion Williamson, who like Giannis had a long lay off, decided to end the game with a 360 windmill dunk, leading to an altercation between two teams.
Booker remembered all of that and made sure the Pelicans will get a taste of their own medicine.
Conversations, however, seem to deviate from that unspoken rule being some kind of virtue. People thought Giannis did nothing wrong. Others even think the Greek Freak, who is being dragged into trade rumors persistently, just don’t care anymore.
the way the League treats him like shit nowdays to leave Milwaukee, I am here for the Giannis villain arc, he doesn’t give af anymore

I love when grown men get pressed that someone plays for 48 minutes when they all signed up to play a 48 minute game. https://t.co/CZYlUOcYYL

Unspoken rules, unschpoken rules.
Don’t want someone to dunk in garbage time? Don’t be far enough behind for there to be garbage time.
I’d rather watch Giannis dunk than someone dribble out the clock. 🤷♀️

Was it a disrespectful dunk or not?
