In response, Culvers posted an amazing to the Bucks’ star that included an incredible donation.

When asked, “Scoring 50 is fun though, right?” in his press conference, Giannis said:
“Yeah, it’s definitely fun. I’m going to go to uh… Look, last time I went to, I went to Chick-Fil-A and got the nuggets. But now tomorrow I think I’m going to go to Culver’s. You know, I’m going to get 50 cheeseburgers and try to eat as many as I can. And the rest I think I’ll have my son eat them or I give them to my dog.
“You know why I got to Culver’s? Because Chick-Fil-A did not give me no free meals.”
A Milwaukee Culvers responded to Giannis’ media session by offering him 54 free burgers. In addition, the chain will be donating 54,000 diapers to the Milwaukee Diaper Mission.
