It’s not every game that Milwaukee Bucks fans are treated to an appearance by the one and only Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Well, the nature of Wednesday’s devastating blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers guaranteed some extra run for the brother of former two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
As expected, Thanasis made the most of his time on the court.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Thanasis Antetokounmpo Stares Down Donovan Mitchell
At one point in the game, Thanasis came up with a massive block on Cavs superstar Donovan Mitchell. It was an impressive feat from the 6-foot-7 forward as he showcased both his bounce and his timing. The older Antetokounmpo then had to bust out his trademark tenacity right after the play by savagely staring down Mitchell:

To be fair, it was a pretty impressive play from the Bucks vet.
Twitter Clowns Thanasis
The trolls on Twitter, however, did not really enjoy Antetokounmpo’s antics. So much so, that they decided to let him have a piece of their mind:
tremendous thanasis sequence.
1) declines wide open shot to pass into traffic and it works perfectly
2) destroys donovan at rim and stares him down, down 40
3) is late getting to offensive glass, donovan gets easy dunk pic.twitter.com/pvKANDx6tI— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) January 18, 2024

Thanasis staring down Donovan Mitchell while almost down 40 is hilarious

Thanasis out here rewriting the art of surprise – pass into traffic is the new wide-open shot, getting dunked on is the latest intimidation tactic, and being fashionably late for rebounds is a power move.

Can we call him the 🐐 already ?

I guess it’s safe to say that Thanasis’ staredown backfired on him quickly — both in the game and on the mean streets of Twitter.
