Someone’s enjoying the vacation already. After a huge upset in the first round, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has started to make use of the off-season. Starting practice early, the Greek Freak seems to be locked in for next year. However, this time, the 28-year-old was joined by famous stand-up comedian, Hasan Minhaj. In an attempt to create one of the most iconic scenes from a legendary movie, all hell broke loose for the 37-year-old comedian.

As usual, Giannis Antetokounmpo made sure he brought out his notorious side to give Minhaj a tough time on the court.?

The Bucks had a special ride this season until the Miami Heat decided to end it. Jimmy Butler, taking advantage of Antetokounmpo’s absence in a couple of games, gave the Bucks an unexpected 4-1 loss. However, the Greek Freak seems to be unfazed by the defeat. Moving on from the tough exit, the 6’11 forward has already got back on the court, but this time with someone special.?

Who does not want to recreate iconic scenes from The Lion King? The legendary $1.6 billion project is still considered a sensation among fans. Though Minhaj does not have great height or vertical, he need not worry about dunking. He got the Greek Freak by his side!

Minhaj mentioned in the video, “You’re Mufasa. You are holding Simba and get me back down.” This looked like a perfect plan for Minhaj to dunk until the Bucks star decided to scare the 37-year-old. Antetokounmpo brought out his mischievous side as he left Minhaj hanging on the rim after he executed the dunk.

Scared of taking a fall, Minhaj shouted, “Help me get down bro…Help me, bro, I’m serious…Giannis don’t leave me.” Though the Bucks star helped Minhaj eventually, the chemistry between this duo was special. The two had also collaborated previously during the All-Star week this January.?
