?He Played Like One Too?: Giannis Antetokounmpo?s ?Rookie? Look Gets Trolled by NBA Twitter After Shocking Exit from the Playoffs

The Milwaukee Bucks’ exit from the postseason was a shocker for many. It is not every day that we see a top-seeded team get knocked out by an eighth-seed. Against the predictions of several pundits, the Miami Heat did the unthinkable. The loss was particularly more taxing on the Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he faced the wrath of fans and experts alike. A week later, he is yet again being trolled, although this time it is due to his “rookie” look.

After a stinging loss to the Heat in the first round of playoffs, Antetokounmpo was criticized, trolled, and had to go through several public assessments. As a superstar of the game, the 28-year-old is no stranger to criticism and trolling. However, the reason for which he is being trolled this time, may not be on his list of regulars.

It is worth noting that the 2x MVP was among the MVP contenders for this season as well. He did everything he could to help his team get as far in the season as they did. After finishing with the best record in the NBA, the Bucks were a strong contender for this year’s championship.

To everyone’s surprise, the Heat disrupted their chances causing one of the biggest upsets of the season. The Heat handed a 4-1 defeat to the Bucks, one player in particular crushed the Bucks’ championship dream. Jimmy Butler dropped 98 points in the last two games to knock out the Milwaukee team.

Of those 98 points, a record-breaking 56 points came from game 4 alone. In the following matchup, Butler again took the charge with 42 points, bringing the Bucks’ season run to an abrupt end. After the crushing defeat, Antetokounmpo appeared for the press conference where he questioned the general idea that this season was a failure for them. He asked the media personnel if they consider Michael Jordan’s 9 out of 15 seasons failures because he only won six championships. What followed was a series of reality checks and trolling from industry experts, fans, and veterans.

Once again the Bucks superstar is being trolled on social media. This time for his latest haircut.
